Norwegian Princess Martha Louise Announces Wedding Date with Shaman Fiancé

Princess Martha Louise of Norway, daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja, has announced her wedding plans with self-proclaimed shaman Durek Verrett on August 31, 2024. The couple's relationship has faced criticism in Norway due to Verrett's alternative medicine methods and controversial statements. The wedding will take place in Geiranger, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite the controversy, King Harald and the royal family have given their blessings to the couple. Martha Louise, who has previously faced controversy herself, stepped down from her royal duties in 2022 to focus on her alternative medicine business with Verrett.
