Royal Wedding Controversy Unfolds

Published: 2024-07-24

Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her fiancé Durek Verrett are facing significant controversy ahead of their upcoming wedding in Geiranger.

Recent revelations indicate that they were involved in the design of a gin label that initially used Märtha's princess title, which she is not allowed to use commercially.

This has led to investigations by health authorities regarding potential violations of alcohol laws.

Additionally, the couple has threatened legal action against Durek's mother, Veruschka Urquhart, for alleged defamatory statements she made in an interview.

The situation has garnered international media attention, with calls for the royal family to intervene and address the ongoing family disputes and the implications for the princess's title.
