American self-professed shaman set to marry Norwegian princess accuses her friends of racism: ‘So disrespectful’
Nettavisen‘s “Stavrum & Eikeland” podcast.“That is so racist and so disrespectful and so rude in front of Martha’s parents,” he said of the remark, adding that Märtha Louise’s parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja, “noticed it and didn’t like it.”“It wasn’t pleasant to have that type of energy of every time Martha was with her friends,” he added.Verrett, who claims to be a sixth-generation shaman, added that Märtha Louise’s friends kept telling her to end the romance in the early days of their relationship.“They were like ‘Call him up, break up with him now.’ They would put the phone in front of her, instead of supporting her.”The pair are set to tie the knot at the Union Hotel in Geirangerfjord in Norway on August 31. The location is prized for its typical Norwegian scenery among mountains and fjords.The VG newspaper, one of Norway’s biggest, said the wedding would be privately paid for.Following the pair’s engagement last year, King Harald V said that his family was “delighted to welcome” Verret, who hails from California.The Norwegian princess can trace her ancestry back to Britain’s Queen Victoria.The couple, who toured the country in 2019 as “The Princess and The Shaman,” have created waves in Norway with their alternative beliefs.Märtha Louise gave up her royal duties in 2022 to pursue alternative medicine with her man by launching a joint alterna-med business.The princess decided to keep her royal title — but abdicated her official duties to “create a clearer dividing line” between her roles.Since meeting Verrett, Märtha Louise has claimed she can talk with angels.
