Discover the controversial wedding of Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett, a spirit medium, as it sparks discontent in Norway. Explore the implications for the royal family's reputation amid declining support.

The eldest daughter of the Norwegian royal family, Princess Märtha Louise, is set to marry American Durek Verrett, a self-proclaimed spirit medium. Their relationship has sparked controversy in Norway, with many expressing discontent over their alternative beliefs and commercial ventures. As the couple prepares for their wedding in the scenic Geiranger Highlands, they face criticism for how their actions might impact the royal family's reputation.

Märtha Louise, who claims to communicate with angels, and Verrett, who identifies as a sixth-generation spirit priest, have faced backlash from the Norwegian public for their unconventional practices. The princess's decision to relinquish her royal duties has not quelled the controversy, as she continues to monetize her royal status. Critics argue that this undermines the monarchy, especially as support for the royal family has declined significantly in recent years.

The couple's wedding is expected to draw 380 guests, including notable royals, but their decision to grant exclusive wedding content to media outlets has raised eyebrows. With declining popularity for the monarchy following various scandals, including a recent incident involving Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son, the royal family's future hangs in the balance as they navigate this cultural clash.
