The royal family of Norway has handled this affair very transparently and with dignity, even though I took some time. Martha Louise has caused them a lot of pain, I think. She wanted it all, but has had to make adjustments which might not be pleasing to her or him. When Durek began to speak in this video, I felt a tremendous sense of unease ... YIKES!
I hate to see any family experience grief but I found his comments extremely offensive, as an American. I think he should consider cleaning up his own backyard. I would never say anything so rude about the Norwegian people. I wasn’t aware they thought so poorly of us.
I am afraid we Scandinavians do not hold Americans in very high regard. They are considered easy to talk to, polite and generally ok to be around, but also very loud, shockingly uneducated and sometimes downright stupid. They are also regarded as an extremely insular people who do not know anything about the world outside the US border. I can absolutely understand why the Norwegians have objected to this shaman as he represents some of the bad traits we associate w Americans, total devotion to earning money and become famous on whatever stupid scheme one can think of and also explore the utter stupidity of his clients by assuming he has healing and magical powers. I really feel sorry for the royals who have had to put up with all his nonsense and their daugther's appaling taste in men. I totaly understand they finally said enough is enough!
@@traciezolman9212 I never heard the Norwegian people disliked the Americans. And when King Harald speaks in English he has no accent because he and his sisters were here during the 2nd world war living near Washington, DC.
@@traciezolman9212 Norwegians don't think poorly of Americans. I think the King was speaking as a father who was concerned about his daughter as any father would.
Interesting news. As far as the news from Norway is concerned, everyone deserves a fair chance. I just hope the Norwegian royal family are keeping an eye on this situation. Good video, thank you.
Durek Verett tried to say that Norwegians are rasist,because he got criticized in the media here,and people were outraged about his comments saying that children got cancer because they wanted it.But Norwegians like myself know we are not,it's just be that can't handle critisism.
Bravo princess louise for facing reality that the her way of life now is not suitable for royal duties but you retain the title princess which you deserve
This is very true. More and more people are curious about him and his teachings. What I find a tad bit strange is The Shaman is going to be speaking at an event in L.A. -- my hometown -- at the RA MA Institute on Friday. Now, I have friends who used to be involved with RA MA, but left due to the former founder/owner of the organization named Guru Jaget (who died last year) behavior and practices. Long story short: Rumors have been running for years around town that RA MA is actually a cult . Why The Shaman wants to be associated with them leaves me wondering...
Yes, it could. I don’t think His Majesty is doing Norway any favors by publicly telling Americans that we are unable to comprehend the importance of a monarchy.
@@traciezolman9212 well.. im norwegian and I dont see any point with this unneccadary money use... i think more and more people dont see any point with this system any more. But ofcourse not much said openly in media about that.
@@traciezolman9212 I think what he said is true - a lot of Americans have this fairy-tale notion of monarchy. They don't know how a modern, constitutional monarchy works.
The Norwegian Queen is so wise, the people do not have right to ask a father be him King to more or less disown his daughter. Hats off to the King and Queen and how without rushing have all agreed to sometimes disagree. That’s what “family” means be it blue blooded or not.
@@margaretlovelock7031 RUclips gives us a right to judge otherwise there wouldn't be opinions for content creators to use for their channel, miss holier than thou! The princess's husband died under extremely unusual and mysterious circumstances. The grifter is dangerous.
So what do you call someone that publicly states that all Americans are incapable of understanding what a Monarchy is ? I have never been more offended.
The apology from the fiancée of the the Norwegian Princess would of come across more genuine had he of said 'I wish continued success of the Royal Family' instead of, I wish success..... Just a subtle play on words but would of been more respectful imo 🤔
Hmmm... This is starting to become the norm- stepping down, stripping of titles and it makes me wonder who else will be stripped of their titles next?! At the very least not using titles for business opportunities. The King and Queen of Norway seem to be a beautiful couple and class act. Thank you for sharing this information.
Eurgh. It's all just so sordid. The words of the King and Queen are very generous, but what must they really think of this? Giving up her duty for THAT, a 'shaman' 🤦♂
I don't have a good vibe about him as well, and his race has nothing to do with my opinion. Martin Luther King once said we must learn to not judge a person by the color of the skin, but by the contents of a person's character. I was also pleased with the interview of the king and queen of Norway concern their attitude towards Derek.
He did not insult Americans, they just said there are difference in culture and behaviour when you compare the two countries! You have to live with the fact that not everyone in the world think of the USA as paradise- especially not if you areill or poor. Your remark is just the kind of remark that makes people dislike Americans and think of you as arrogant and stupid! US is just one other country in the world, you do not own the planet!
Martha-Louise has a bent toward things in the arena of alchemy, the paranormal, alternative medicines, new-age religion, outre arts, etc. Let us hope this keeps the work of the royal family clear of anything resembling the influence of a snake oil salesman. I hope she and her daughters find peace and happiness and learn to compartmentalize their lives in healthy ways.
@@traciezolman9212 What condescending comments has King Harald said? When he speaks in English he has no accent from the time he and his sisters and mother lived here during the war. He has always had a descent rapport with America.
so many 'dramas' in play ....... thanks for reporting them all -- and very politcially correct comments ......... I recall the 'history' of Juan Carlos ......oh yeah
@@TheRoyalCorrespondent oh yes, I recall his quick trip to the hinterlands to meet his mistriss... poor queen so saddened by the blazing neadlines ... always a lady --
If only there were many more Duchess’s of Sussex she is so empathetic if only she had been treated with respect she would have been such an asset to the RF. Nevertheless Meghan and her husband are still making the difference helping many charities proving that one doesn’t have to have a RF behind them they actually thrive by doing everything off their own backs.
Luxembourg is a grand duchy. A grand duchy is a country or territory whose official head of state or ruler is a monarch bearing the title of grand duke or grand duchess. Historically, in Europe a sovereign grand duke was one of the highest ranks among hereditary rulers after emperor and king, and was equal to that of prince-elector; ranking as royalty. The correct form of address (also for the heir apparent and his wife) is Royal Highness.
@@maryh9569 Well the American connection makes it relevant...Americans are very more materialistic than Europeans. Business is more important than serve to the country. Not criticizing just stating a reality. The King was right...some Americans do not understand Constitutional Monarchies. Again not criticizing just stating a fact.
I think the King was incredibly rude & irresponsible in his comments about Americans. I found the King’s comment far more offensive than anything the Shaman has said, however flaky he may seem or actually be. I have followed the Royal houses of Europe for 45 yrs. & I have never heard anyone publicly shame the entire American population like that. I am shocked that his Majesty would have the audacity to pass judgment on the American people, as if we are all unable to understand the value of the Royal house. I can’t be the only one who heard him say that publicly about Americans. I wish this family peace & continue my affection for Norway; I think his Majesty has done more damage to the Royal House then anyone, with this condescending comment. He has in fact just insulted an entire nation. Historically Norway & the USA have had a long standing, supportive relationship, this was shocking.
But do Americans understand the system? I think in general he is right - and also, ot was not meant in an offensive way - it was meant to defend Durek since he obviously has had problems. It was meant in a good natured way
I think you are way to over-sensitive and read what he said the totally wrong way. The King is very open-minded about everything and everyone. He isnt a judgemental person. He is a very kind and down to earth man with marked ethical values like the rest of the family. Presumably the King is one of the least snobbish people in the country. As an alternative profession, he chosed the job of a teacher. He is a King of the people, like his father King Olav was. He wants everyone to get the same respect and equality (when it comes to fex guy rights, ethnic minorrities etc)
No, he didn't insult anyone, let alone a nation. What he said is true - a lot of Americans don't understand how a monarchy works. They think it involves fairy tale princes and princesses who live happily ever after. You are reading too much into his comments.
I read it and if Wikipedia is right it's very troubling. I believe her parents are doing the right thing, bcse in a situation like that the worst thing parents, royals or not, can do is to be against the relationship. The princess need her family close by her side, otherwise she will be isolated and if abuse happens she would have no one to help her.
Princess, please open your eyes....with much love said!
Well done Norway. No Royal Family have to mess with business.
Very nice from the family ...express understanding...(some royals in America sure take a page from this family..👸
