The Royal Wedding of Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett in Geiranger

On August 31, 2024, the picturesque town of Geiranger on the west coast of Norway became the backdrop for one of the most talked-about royal weddings of the year. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, married American spiritual guide and shaman Durek Verrett in a ceremony attended by 350 guests, including the entire Norwegian royal family and several international celebrities. This historic event was not just a celebration of love but also a fascinating blend of Norwegian tradition and modern spiritual practices.

A Historic Union

Princess Märtha Louise, 52, is no stranger to the limelight. The only daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, she has been a prominent figure in Norway and beyond. Her marriage to Durek Verrett marks her second union after the tragic passing of her first husband, Ari Behn, in 2019. Durek Verrett, 49, is a well-known shaman, spiritual guide, and author, who has worked with various Hollywood celebrities.

The couple’s relationship, which began in 2018, quickly became the subject of much media attention. Their engagement, announced in June 2022, was celebrated with joy and curiosity, as Durek proposed with a custom-designed emerald ring, symbolizing not only his love for Märtha Louise but also his connection to her daughters from her previous marriage.
