Princess Märtha Louise's wedding to shaman Durek Verrett: Court distances itself. Court promises a “celebrity wedding with a royal flair”.
Couple have to cover the costs of their wedding themselves - the bride's father King Harald V. (87) does not contribute. The relationship between Crown Prince Haakon's older sister (50) and the self-proclaimed spiritual healer and shaman Verrett caused controversy in Norway from the start. The couple cannot count on royal support for the celebrations.
