Princess Märtha Louise of Norway (born 22 September 1971) is a member of the Norwegian royal family, but is not a member of the royal house and has no public role. Märtha Louise is active within alternative therapy and spiritual practices, and is a self-described clairvoyant. She was married to Ari Behn from 2002 to 2017 and has since married Durek Verrett. A member of the House of Glücksburg, Märtha Louise was born in Oslo in 1971 to then-Prince Harald and the former commoner Sonja Haraldsen. At the time she had no inheritance rights to the Norwegian throne. This changed in 1990, when she was included in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne, where she is currently fourth. Her father became king in 1991. She has often faced criticism in Norway for her claims of being clairvoyant and for exploiting her constitutional role and title as princess commercially. There have been frequent calls for her to relinquish her royal title and place in the line of succession.
