After Denmark’s Queen Margrethe stripped the royal titles from four of her grandkids, news has surfaced that Norway’s Princess Märtha Louise may suffer the same fate

Will Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, 51, suffer the same fate as Queen Margrethe of Denmark’s four grandkids, who were recently stripped of their royal titles?

According to Danish tabloid Se og Hør in early October, Norway’s King Harald V and Queen Sonja have had “crisis meetings” as the king is considering removing Märtha Louise’s princess title. The decision in question comes after the royal’s fiancé, American shaman Durek Verrett, 47, made headlines for his controversial statements. Märtha Louise is currently fourth in line to the throne.

So what happened? Here’s what we know about the issue …

It started with congratulations and kind regards …

It was only in June when Märtha Louise and her fiancé had spoken of the latter’s good relations with the Danish royal family as they announced their engagement the same month. As reported on Hola!, Verrett disclosed via an Instagram live video that he has “built such a lovely relationship” with his future in-laws.

Princess Märtha Louise has three kids from her first marriage to Ari Behn, whom she divorced in 2017 before his tragic death two years later.

“I’m not gonna lie and say like in the beginning it wasn’t kind of bumpy because you’re having this shaman, bisexual, black man coming into your family,” he is quoted in the report. But that apparently changed over the years. He added, “I have a great relationship with the royal family”.

Likewise, a message of congratulations was posted on the royal house website following their engagement announcement.
