OSLO (Reuters) – Norwegian Princess Martha Louise has stepped down from her royal duties to pursue her select drug business with her fiancé, a self-proclaimed shaman, the palace said on Tuesday.
The 51-year-old princess’ relationship with Durek Verrett, a popular non-secular Hollywood guru, caused a stir in Norway after the African-American “sixth-generation shaman” advised in his e-book “Spirit Hacking” that cancer is an option. he sells a reliquary on his online page called “Spirit Optimizer,” which he says helped him beat Covid-19.
A vote in September found that 17 percent of Norwegians now have a lower opinion of the popular royal family, almost all citing the princess and shaman as the reason.
“The princess (. . . ) is abandoning the role of royal patronArray. . . and will constitute the real space for the time being,” the palace said in a statement.
However, “in accordance with the king’s will, the princess shall retain her title. “
The palace said that once the princess and Verrett were married, he would be a member of the royal circle of relatives but would not have a name or constitute the monarchy.
Martha Louise, who claims to speak to angels, lost her honorific name of “Her Royal Highness” in 2002 when she chose to paint as a psychic.
In 2019, the divorced mother of 3 agreed to use her princess name in her business activities.
The couple has now agreed to participate in chorus of any arrangement with the royal circle of relatives on their social media, media productions and commercial activities.
“This aims to draw a dividing line that more obviously separates the publicity activity of the Royal House of Norway,” the palace said.
He added that the royal circle of relatives has “great confidence in the Norwegian fitness service and the Norwegian fitness authorities,” stressing the importance of “established medical wisdom and clinical research. “
In the same statement, Martha Louise said she was “aware of the importance of research-based knowledge. “
“However, I also believe that there are elements of intelligent living and physical and intellectual fitness that would arguably not be that simple to summarize in a study report. “
She said “spirituality, intimacy with others, and yoga and meditation” can be just complements, just like “a warm hand, an acupuncture needle, a crystal. “
He said he felt it was vital to “distinguish between me as a user of my own, on the one hand, and as a member of the royal circle of relatives, on the other,” and hoped that his non-public perspectives would be treated as his own. without others having to answer for them. “
