- Lethal Substance Intended for Martha Louise
In the cinematic masterpiece "Spaceballs," directed by Mel Brooks, there existed a character named Waldi, a unique blend of human and canine heritage. Fast forward to the present, a character akin to Waldi emerges, but this time in real life. His name is Durek Verrett, and he claims to be a Meptil, half human, half reptile. This unusual assertion will be put to the test this Saturday, as Verrett marries Princess Martha Louise, the eldest daughter of Norway's King Harald and Queen Sonja. Verrett, famously known as the "Brazen Shaman" on the avenues, holds beliefs that are as intriguing as they are controversial. He maintains that cancer is self-inflicted and that his medallion, priced at $220 on his website, can cure COVID-19 infections.
The upcoming nuptials may not be the fairytale the royal family envisioned. They find themselves in a period not dissimilar to Queen Sonja's annus horribilis in 1992. New controversies surrounding Martha Louise's fiancé continue to arise, leaving many wondering if this is just the beginning of an unexpected guest list at the castle.
Recent events have brought to light Marius Borg Hoiby, who admitted to battling drug addiction and resorting to violence towards his girlfriend under its influence. As the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Hoiby was once married to Crown Prince Haakon as a non-royal civilian and a single mother. Their relationship is widely admired, with Mette-Marit enjoying immense popularity among the Norwegians.
Emotions run deep as Mette-Marit navigates her role as a mother, mirroring the sentiments many Norwegians felt towards Martha Louise in 2019. That year, Martha Louise's first husband, Ari Behn, tragically took his own life. Despite their separation and three shared daughters, Behn's passing left an indelible mark on Martha Louise. At the time of her husband's demise, she was already with Verrett. The princess eagerly shared that Verrett was an essential support during this difficult time, the only one capable of maintaining functioning amidst the chaos.
Despite this, Norwegians remain divided over Martha Louise's decision. The royal family's popularity has been on a downward trajectory as late. If media outlets primarily cover controversies and scandals, as Norwegian royal household expert Trond Nøren Isaksen told Stern, the public may struggle to see the royal family's accomplishments. Over time, public support for the monarchy has dwindled.
As a result, Martha Louise's duties have been reduced by her father. She retains her princess title but, much like Prince Harry, she has stepped away from her official royal roles. King Harald decided to make this change upon Martha Louise's engagement to Verrett.
Known for her eccentricities, Martha Louise has always been a unique presence. From speaking with plants as a child to engaging with angels as an adult, her peculiarities have never ceased to amaze. As she prepares to unite with Verrett, she continues to defy expectations. In a surprising move, she and Verrett have sold their wedding to Netflix, leading speculation that the broadcast will cater to both human and animal audiences. Unlike her traditional predecessors, Martha Louise and her husband-to-be will certainly not be a typical royal couple.
♪ Mel Brooks might find the current events surrounding Martha Louise's wedding amusing, given his satirical humor inSpaceballs. ♪ ♪ I know that Durek Verrett, Martha Louise's fiance, has been a fan of Mel Brooks' work, often quoting lines from his films during interviews.
