There is a considerable difference between having conversations with daisies and being involved with a person who claims to be able to cure people of serious diseases.
If a Princess hugs a tree nothing happens.
If a Princess support a person, whose "treatment" in the worst case scenario can end up in someone dying, it's seriously bad!
Okay, let's look at this.
A) ML is totally besotted with Shaman and she will eventually learn that she is being taken for a ride by a heckler.
B) ML actually believe all this (or worse know this is a scam, but I don't think so) and she is willingly lending Shaman all possible assistance. She has willingly become a confirmed disciple if you will.
C) We must take into consideration that their attraction is genuine and mutual.
Whatever, this is actually IMO more serious than ML has realized.
Because she is using her title and position, and no doubt money and personal involvement as well, in a person who is more than likely to end up in a police investigation for quackery or who is facing a civil lawsuit. That means a
Norwegian princess may very well end up in court and or will be interrogated (with full Miranda) by the police somewhere within a few years.
If I can envision this drama, the Norwegians can too - and do.
In the eyes of the world such a scenario may be nothing more than a passing soap on the news, but Norway is a village, a tribe. It matters what a leading member of the first family of the village is involved in!
So I will ask the question: Is it possible ML will be facing an ultimatum:
Preferably drop Shaman altogether. Or if you don't ,do not get yourself remotely involved in his dealings. Don't even get yourself involved in anything resembling healing.
If you don't, you lose your title. And don't expect the NRF or the Norwegian state to help you.
Now, how would ML react to such an ultimatum?
If she believes Shaman is the most wonderful being to walk the Earth since Valentino, she will either flatly refuse in defiance or turn her back on Norway (and if need be the NRF) and follow the man "she was destined to meet before they were even born."
If she follows her man, dropping her title and status, anything can happen. But from a national perspective it will be less embarrassing for the "Norwegian village."
But if she refuse, then it can be ugly, certainly for the NRF on a personal level.
The last thing the NRF need right now is a major row within the family. There are more than enough problems within the NRF as it is, with Mette-Marit seriously ill. (I can BTW envision the King going ballistic, should Shaman suggest he should try and treat her!) And with the Regent Couple feeling their age, there will be a lack of adults able to work full time in the next few years.
Märtha Louise can not rejoin the NRF as a working member. That hope (which I shared) is now out the window. ML's credibility in the eyes of the Norwegians which was very low to start with has now been totally ruined.
And the more she is getting herself involved in this spiritual roadshow, the less they want her. - Even if there were no other alternatives within the NRF left. It's that serious, judging from comments!
Okay, will Shaman run away, having realized that Norway is not California and that dating a Princess (while being a shaman) is not the same thing as dating an ordinary celeb?
Well, if he is a sensible man, who may even be fond of ML, he will realize that this in the long run is damaging to him and cut his losses.
If they genuinely love each other and genuinely believe in their own skills, they may very well try and stick it out together. After all they have been partners in previous lives, remember... - (Yes, I sell mermaids too...)
However, why should he? Why should he let go of a pretty good income? There will be a full house at his shows. Some of those going will be won over and buy more products or services.
He will still have his followers in particularly USA, who are unlikely to care about what happens in Norway. And even less likely to believe anything but his version.
He hasn't done anything illegal in Norway so far.
A genuine princess of the blood from a genuine monarchy is lending him her name, title and status.
Okay the local press are a bit rough on him, but if he is a psychopathic personality, (I.e. believing in his own superior skills, lying through his teeth, acting impulsive, manipulating, charming without sincerity, articulated, convincing, persuasive, ruthless, serious risk-taker, showing little genuine concern for anyone but himself, self-absorbed and so on...) why should he let go of this blue-blooded milk-cow? Especially if she is totally besotted with him.
- So the ultimatum to ML may not be that far away IMO.
