Well-wishers came from all over Norway to give their blessing to the controversial marriage of Princess Märtha Louise and the shaman Durek.
Märtha, who describes herself as “spiritual” and claims to be clairvoyant, began a relationship with Durek after getting over the loss of her first husband.
Today is the final day of the couple’s three-day wedding, as they will conclude the festivities with a brunch.
Märtha, who describes herself as “spiritual” and claims to be clairvoyant, entered into a relationship with Durek after getting over the loss of her first husband, Ari Behn, who died by suicide in 2019.
But things have not been easy for the princess, as she was forced to step down from her role as a working member of the royal family due to her fiancé’s controversial views.
Durek stated in a book that he believed childhood cancer was caused by unhappiness.
He published ‘Spirit Hacking’ in 2019 in the United States, but it was banned by publishers in Norway due to unsubstantiated claims.
After reading a translation of the book from its original English version, the publisher said at the time that they were shocked by a number of unproven statements made by Durek in the book.
