"Royal Highness" in 2002. She has often faced criticism in Norway for her claims of being clairvoyant and for exploiting her constitutional role and title as princess commercially (for which she has been derided in Norway as "Princess Plenty More of Have-It-All" (''prinsesse Mertakk av Pose og Sekk'')), with frequent calls for her to lose the title and place in the line of succession. For the same reason she has become relatively unpopular in Norway, with an antagonistic relationship with the media, leading her to declare a total boycott of Norwegian media in 2024. In 2019, the royal court announced that she will no longer use the title princess in her business activities as a clairvoyant. However, she has been criticized for continued commercial exploitation of the title, and for deliberately disregarding an agreement not to use the title "Princess" or the family connection to the royal family in any commercial activities, interviews or other public activities. In 2022, she relinquished her remaining royal duties to concentrate on alternative medicine. A majority of Norwegians favor the removal of her title. Märtha Louise has accused former friends of racism over their criticism of Verrett. Verrett's sister Demi DeLaNuit criticized Märtha Louise for abusing her title to intimidate her. Verrett and Märtha Louise sold the rights to their wedding to a British tabloid. Norwegian media described the wedding as "comical" and "embarrassing." Norwegian media criticized King

for legitimizing and endorsing the exploitation of national values and symbols for Märtha Louise's and Verrett's personal financial gain. In November 2024 Norwegian media published recordings of Verrett where he admitted to sexual assault and "sucking the cock" of his clients during shamanistic sessions, and claimed that she knew everything. The royal family's association with Verrett has been cited as contributing to a deterioration in its reputation. Political scientist Torvald Valland Therkildsen described the royal family as a parody that is a source of embarrassment to Norway.


Early life

Märtha Louise was born on 22 September 1971 at The National Hospital the

, to the then Crown Prince Harald and Crown Princess Sonja. Princess Märtha Louise was named after her late paternal grandmother and great-great-grandmother. At birth, she was not in line to the throne, because until 1990, only males could inherit the Norwegian throne. She was baptized a few months after her birth. Her godparents are King Olav V of Norway, Princess Margaretha of Sweden, Count Flemming of Rosenborg, Princess Ragnhild of Norway, Dagny Haraldsen, Haakon Haraldsen, Nils Jørgen Astrup and Ilmi Riddervold. In 1973, Märtha Louise's younger brother, Haakon Magnus, was born. In 1990 the

to the Norwegian throne, meaning that the eldest child, regardless of sex, takes precedence in the line of succession. This change only affects those born in 1990 or later. Females born between 1971 and 1990 (i.e. only Märtha Louise), were given succession rights, but their brothers would be before them in the line of succession, meaning that Prince Haakon still took precedence over Märtha Louise in the line of succession. After the births of her brother's two children, Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus, Märtha Louise was relegated to fourth in line.

She has not practised her profession, however, choosing instead, from her fascination in traditional Norwegian folk tales as well as a love of music, to establish her own commercial entertainment business based on giving public and televised performances reciting folk tales and singing with well-known Norwegian choirs. In December 2003, she took part in Oslo Gospel Choir's Christmas concert with a solo performance, included on the companion CD album. On 1 January 2002, Märtha Louise started her own business, in order to work with more freedom from her constitutional role as a princess. She began paying income tax, and the King, after consulting her, issued a royal

However, she retains her place in the line of succession, and though her activities were reduced, she still carries out some public duties on behalf of the King.

Controversy

In 2014, Märtha Louise faced some criticism due to her association with British clairvoyant Lisa Williams. Williams was in Oslo on 14 September 2014, and gave a seminar for Soulspring, formerly known as the Angel School, which Märtha Louise co-founded. Williams is known for her claims that she can communicate with the deceased. The Soulspring website carried the following message: "We in Soulspring do not communicate with dead souls in our work. And here is where our work is separate from Lisa's. To be completely honest, we don't see the point of contacting the dead. They passed over to the other side for a reason and should be allowed to stay there." No one representing the royal family commented. Märtha Louise has objected to claims that her second husband Durek Verrett didn't grow up wealthy, and claimed that everyone was jealous of his family's wealth. Royal correspondent Tove Taalsen questioned why Märtha Louise places such emphasis on Verrett's alleged wealth as a child, and wrote that it is out of touch with Norway's more egalitarian values.

'' Erik Stephansen criticized Märtha Louise's complaints about the coverage of her and Verrett, and wrote that she has "actively sought the spotlight with her entire family, exploited the princess title in every conceivable way – including commercially – and is now fully engaged in milking her own glamorous celebrity wedding in Geiranger for all it's worth." Märtha Louise has faced numerous calls to cease using the title "princess" commercially, and to relinquish the title altogether in light of her controversial commercial activities. She has been derided in Norway as "Princess Plenty More of Have-It-All" (''prinsesse Mertakk av Pose og Sekk''). Critics have pointed out that the title princess is not a private or personal title that can be used for private profit, but is a constitutional, public title and role, awarded under the Norwegian constitution, ultimately by the Norwegian state. Editor David Stenerud wrote that Märtha "insists on being a Norwegian princess" and that this constitutional title is linked to a public role in Norway. In 2024 Norwegian media reported on a year-long
