– This is a topic that I think is a bit difficult, says Crown Prince Haakon. news meets him in Trondheim where he meets 200 young leaders and talents for the Sikt conference. At the same time, a process is underway to clarify older sister Princess Märtha Louise’s role in the royal household. – I feel a great responsibility for the institution Several people have recently advocated that she should lose her princess title, in order to create greater distance between her and her fiance Durek Verrett’s work and the Norwegian royal house. – On the one hand, my sister has got engaged, and I have gotten to know Durek Verrett and think it is nice to be with him, I have been with him on many occasions. And I would like him to feel welcome in our family, says the crown prince. – At the same time, I feel a great responsibility for the institution, and I – and we – have of course noticed that some of what has been said and done has created a lot of discussion and has also been controversial. We have to talk about that and find out. That is what we are trying to do now that we have this process, where we are trying to find a good way forward.

Cut off collaboration There has been a storm surrounding Princess Märtha Louise and her royal work recently. news was able to report last month that the Epilepsy Association chose to end its collaboration with the princess in 2020. The association believed that several statements from her boyfriend, now engaged, Durek Verrett conflicted with their values ​​and ethics. Since then, several associations have done the same, while others have asked Princess Märtha Louise to now clarify her view on alternative treatment, and clarify whether she supports Verrett’s statements. Verrett has received criticism after several controversial statements on health issues. Most recently this summer, when he claimed a medallion helped him recover from corona infection.
