Mystical wedding ceremony
Princess Märtha Louise said yes to shamans
Princess Märtha Louise, who speaks with angels, and the controversial American shaman and healer Durek Verrett tied the knot in a closed-door ceremony in Vinjevollen on the Geirangerfjord on Saturday.
The couple sold photos of the ceremony exclusively to a US magazine, much to the annoyance of the Norwegians. Nevertheless, Norwegian media positioned themselves in front of the ceremony site, where a white tent protected the bride and groom from prying eyes and tried to catch a glimpse of the ceremony. At least blurry photos of the bride and the ceremony behind the plastic wall of a marquee were taken.
A Netflix team is also said to have secured the film rights. However, footage from the TV 2 channel showed the princess briefly in her white wedding dress and the groom in a tuxedo receiving a hug from the king.
"I cried so often"
As the Princess's husband, Verrett is now officially a member of the royal family. However, he does not receive a title.
"It was so beautiful. It was a completely fantastic experience," said Märtha Louise about the wedding ceremony when she and her husband finally stepped out in front of reporters and onlookers that evening. "I cried so many times," said Verrett. "It was phenomenal." It was breathtaking to see Märtha Louise in her dress for the first time.
350 invited guests
Among the 350 guests invited to the wedding were Norway's King Harald and Queen Sofia, Märtha Louise's younger brother Crown Prince Haakon with his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit and their children Princess Ingrid and Prince Sverre Magnus.
The royal family wore traditional Norwegian costumes at the wedding of the king's eldest daughter.
Victoria in a gaudy dress
Crown Princess Victoria, her husband Prince Daniel, Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip traveled from Sweden. Sweden's heir to the throne wore a bright red dress. Her sister-in-law Sofia appeared in a two-tone gown with an orange top and a white tulle skirt.
Daughters beam into the camera
Maud Angelica Behn, Emma Tallulah Behn and Leah Isadora Behn, Märtha Louise's daughters from her first marriage, wore bright evening dresses and waved smilingly at the cameras.
Five of the princess's bridesmaids were photographed in pink gowns.
Oldest royal child
Märtha Louise is the eldest child of Norwegian King Harald V and his wife Queen Sonja (both 87). The heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon (51), is her younger brother - she herself is number four in the line of succession in the Scandinavian country. This is the princess's second marriage: she was previously married to the writer Ari Behn (1972-2019) from 2002 to 2017.
Sixth generation shaman
According to Verrett, he is the sixth generation of his family to be a shaman. He wants to help people find their true strength in a spiritual way. Märtha Louise is also said to be very interested in spirituality and esotericism.
The relationship between the princess and the shaman, who was considered eccentric, had repeatedly caused controversy, including in the run-up to the wedding, due to their business practices.
