Thanks, Victor1319

Yes, I'd like to know. Because it provides another facet to ML's personality.

I watched some of the video and If I'm to sum up: To my ears it sounded like: Blah, blah, very tenuous explanations, blah, blah.

Don't get me wrong. People can believe they can communicate with spirits and angels from now on until the cows come home. Whatever makes them happy. Whatever they believe in, fine, that's people's private matter.
It's just that to my ears what was said in the video is nonsense.

It's even more nonsense, when it's used to explain the "basis" of a commercial business.

To illustrate: I once saw a documentary about a teenage girl living somewhere in Eastern Europe, who claimed to be in possession of abilities to "see" things. Like what kind of illness people suffered from and so on.
People came to see her from the region she lived in and they firmly believed in her skills. And she didn't profit from her "skills", that was a gift from God, as far as she and those who believed in her felt and I believe she and the locals felt it would be immoral to profit from such a blessing.
She also firmly believed in her skills and as such she was perfectly willing to undergo scientific tests in a controlled environment.
She failed. She wasn't able to "see" more or less than the average person undergoing the same tests.
While I believe this shook her personally, it did not rock the conviction of those in her country who still believed she was somehow "blessed."
- That I can respect. She didn't try to profit from her supposed abilities. She simply tried to do good. Nor did she try to "explain" anything, it was simply a divine gift as she saw it, and she just used that "gift" to the best of her abilities while being thankful to God for being able to do so. You don't try and explain gifts from God. Nor did she claim to really understand her "gift."
So there were no "twisted atoms" nor any "ancestors" from her mouth to explain what I believe was a statistical fluke combined with a good deal of placebo effect and a lot of empathy.

Well, as you can see from my two previous posts, the number is even ''higher'' in other surveys (over 30%). And the percentage of those who want her to keep the title is usually around the same level, except for when she is under ''heavy'' criticism from the media, such as in 2010 and now in 2019 - when the number is at over 50% (I give an opinion on why in post 215).
So I don't think many here in this country think of it as ''unusual to be stripped of a princely title,'' especially not when several commentators and so-called experts (in newspapers and TV-debates) have asked for it to happen since 2007. Yes, twelve-years with talk about it. And most Norwegians probably have no idea that it is so ''unusual'' either.

The angel-school have sold courses where various mediums have been hired in ''to teach people to speak with the dead.''
Does she claim to have contact with them herself? Yes, she has previously said: ''Det er ikke vanskelig å komme i kontakt med de døde heller, på samme måte som med englene. Også den kontakten kan vi opprette når som helst, når vi ønsker det.''
''It's not difficult to get in contact with the dead either, just like the angels. Also that is a contact we can create at any time, whenever we want.''

So, Märtha Luise and her fellows are not so far away from german cable tv, where you can talk to your dead grandma for some hefty money...

Ouch!

Hopefully this is not her motivation for her new love to the Shaman - I hope she sees him for what he is - either a lightly crazy or a con man - and not as her personal Obama-Meghan.

I saw PML on Hest360. It's like she has different personalities. On Hest360, she seems very likable, fun, outgoing. But then in her spiritual world, her persona seems more serious, subdued, even less pretty, .. and I would run a mile in the opposite direction.

I am pretty sure it derives from "computer hacking", invading a computer system - like "life hacks", which are tricks to make life easier, what would make "happy hacks" tricks to achieve happiness.

Not exactly a huge crowd. If it wasn't for PML, there would be no one!

MM is also following Gwyneth Paltrow, I wonder if she's friends with her or knows her too or if she is following because of the celebrity status.

Mette-Marit has been good friends with Gwyneth Paltrow, Marie Chantal of Greece and Rosario of Bulgaria for a long time. Other members of that set were Madonna and Stella McCartney.
Mette-Marit and Haakon are friendly with many in the European jetset and were guests at the religious wedding of Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo. Other friends are the designer Valentino Garravani and the deceased journalist and editor of Vogue Italia Franca Sozzani.

If i'm not mistaken her boyfriend is Gwyneth Paltrow's go-to healer. I am not sure whether ML met him through her or the other way around.

It can be either of the two. It seems like they might have just met when that photo was taken or not because ML was thanking Gwyneth a lot and there was a hashtag 'newfriends.'

Ah, I see, thank you for confirming my curiosities.

IIRC Marius (I know, not an official member of the NRF) is friends with Justin Bieber and co., so it wouldn’t surprise me if IA and Sverre also mingled with or knew some celebrities too.

Yep, I was wondering more about MM rather than ML

Oh The Princess is amazing

Märtha Louise posted a photo with Gwyneth Paltrow.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8suaRC-28/

Märtha Louise posted about the 'The Mandela Mile' in commemoration of the Mandela Day. This is a walk for peace, women’s empowerment and for saving our planet, among others.

Congratulations to Princess Alexandra and Nicolas!

A stunning announcement

The Romanovs would most likely have been there, but having a baby yesterday and a war preventing them from traveling is a good excuse to stay home. I was also expecting to see the Napoléons there and was hoping to get my hopes confirmed about a certain condition they're in... But haven't seen them so far. Prince Leka has posted from the wedding so he's there.
All those pretenders, including the Egyptians, seem pretty close to each other .

Edit: I've seen pictures of the Prince Napoléon attending the wedding alone. So maybe...

Nicolas Fontaine behind the excellent website Histoires Royales was a guest at todays religious wedding between Prince Joachim and Princess Yasmine of Ponte Corvo and have written a post about it complete with some very good pictures.
Princess Yasmine wore a tiara made by jeweller Julian Pellicia that she had helped design and a dress in silk mikado made by Hervé Couture with a long train embroidered with among other things Napoleonic bees and her monogram. The train is exactly 3,08 metres long which is also the birth date of their son Joachim.

https://histoiresroyales.fr/mariage-...rat-invalides/

Frederic de Natal, the man behind the website Monarchies et dynasties du monde, was also a guest at the wedding and has written a post about his experience.

https://www.monarchiesetdynastiesdum...oleon-ier.html

Another post by Histoires Royales shares more information about the wedding tiara: - "Princess Yasmine designed a classic tiara, reminiscent of the low single-row tiaras of the Empire style. Drop-shaped pearls are supported by scrolls and round pearls form a crown on the lower part. There is also a stylized “M” in the center of the tiara whose white gold structure is set with diamonds. Under the Murat initial is an emerald, a valuable and symbolic stone for the princess. This emerald is a gift that the prince made to his wife, at the birth of their first child. Joachim and Yasmine welcomed a little heir, also named Joachim , in August 2021."

Shaman Durek posted a photo of him and Märtha Louise to his Instagram yesterday
"Spending time in the Hamptons with my Goddess and our family is so refreshing. Family is everything to me. Being in a relationship with someone who plays video games with you, dances with you, takes walks on the beach with you, kicks ass at escape rooms and stares at the stars with you. Not to mention the deep life enhancing conversations we have, is literally heaven on Earth. Life can't get better than this. I feel blessed and a better man for having a woman like @princessmarthalouise"

i found it surprising that ML only just met gwyneth as i knew that gwyneth was/is a good friend of mette marit, and i would have thought these two knew each other already...
