The Princess opened today the Association for the Blind’s new facility for guide dogs at Ås this morning. This is the princess’s first assignment for the Royal House after the storm surrounding the princess and her betrothed Durek Verrett recently. But Princess Märtha Louise refused to answer about Verrett when news asked her questions. – Is the dialogue with your parents about Durek Verrett underway? – You know, it’s so nice to be here at the dog school and the new building here. Incredibly nice to see. I hope that many, many dogs will be allowed to help people become more independent in everyday life and get their freedom back. That’s what these dogs help with, and I’m very happy about that, answered the princess. She then smiled, thanked him and walked towards the waiting car. Princess Märtha Louise is the Blind Association’s patron. Crown Prince Haakon is also out on a mission today. He is visiting The Magic Factory in Tønsberg. The Crown Prince answered news’s questions about the visit, but when news’s reporter was about to ask questions about the dialogue between the royal couple and Verrett, the interview was interrupted. Here news’s reporter is interrupted before Durek questions. The royal couple: – We want to talk to him The controversies surrounding the shaman Durek Verrett have come and gone since the start of the relationship with Princess Märtha Louise in 2019. In June, they announced that they are engaged. Verrett claims, among other things, that he recovered from corona because of a medallion. Several professionals have reacted to the award. Several people have also reacted to Verrett’s use of royal titles and terms in reference to himself and the princess in his commercial work. He also promotes so-called vaginal cleansing. The royal couple were silent about their future son-in-law until the end of August this year. Then the king said that what they are now noticing is the clash of cultures. – I don’t think it has fully sunk in yet what I mean, but we are in a process and this will be resolved gradually, said King Harald. – We get to know each other better and better, and I get to talk to him, as I do in a family. So it will work itself out, but I don’t promise that it will work out tomorrow. Defends own business Verrett has himself defended both the medallion and the vaginal cleansing, and says it is a question of cultural differences. In an interview with TV 2, he defends the price of the corona medallion of NOK 2,000 by saying that it is handmade in the USA. He defends the vaginal cleansing criticism by saying that it is common for women in the US to want to go through a cleansing ritual in order to get rid of an “energy imprint” from the sexual partner inside the “sexual glands”. Both Verrett and Princess Märtha Louise have said that they have received death threats. Verrett believes that part of the criticism against him comes from people not wanting to see a black man in the royal house, and says he has received several racist messages.
