Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, born on September twenty-second, nineteen seventy-one, is a multifaceted individual known for her diverse career as a writer, physiotherapist, and alternative therapist. A member of the House of Glücksburg, she was born in Oslo to then-Prince Harald and Sonja Haraldsen, a commoner. Initially lacking inheritance rights to the Norwegian throne, her status changed in nineteen ninety when she was included in the line of succession, currently standing fourth.
Throughout her life, Märtha Louise has embraced alternative therapy and spiritual practices, identifying as a clairvoyant. From two thousand seven to two thousand eighteen, she operated her own alternative therapy center, often referred to as the 'angel school' in Norway, which focused on clairvoyance and communication with angels and the deceased.
Her personal life has been marked by her marriage to writer and visual artist Ari Behn from two thousand two until their divorce in two thousand seventeen. In May two thousand nineteen, she announced her relationship with Durek Verrett, a self-described shaman and controversial figure. Following her marriage to Behn, she lost the title of 'Royal Highness' and currently holds no formal title in Norway, although she is sometimes informally referred to as 'Highness' abroad.
Märtha Louise has faced significant criticism in Norway for her claims of clairvoyance and for perceived commercial exploitation of her royal title. This has led to calls for her to relinquish her royal title and has contributed to her declining popularity. In response to media scrutiny, she has declared a boycott of Norwegian media, further complicating her public image.
