If it is indeed the comment about her mother she regrets (not unlikely, in my opinion), the least she could do is apologize publicly.
Märtha would be better off writing fantasy novels than participating in "spells and wand magic" with the shaman & his family, and believing them to be magical like the characters of Harry Potter. Just saying
I understand that criticism can be hard but she doesn't need to present her personal life on Instagram and soon on some sort of reality TV show, or whatever it is she is doing, if she does not wish for strangers to comment on her life as much. Yes, she is a Princess but she has not been doing any royal engagements for a while now and if she and the shaman would not constantly keep providing the media and people on social media with personal information, there would not be as many comments on her life either.
The Vanity Fair interview is indeed rather extreme, she is presenting her parents, who welcomed a single mother with a controversial past & an even more controversial writer with open arms, as intolerant and the whole country of Norway as racist.
Her parents may take this behavior from her, but will the country of Norway? I do not live in Norway, though I have been there. I am sure that there is racism in Norway, as there is in all of Europe - more in some places, less in others, but to say that she and the shaman could not walk down the street there in peace as a mixed-race couple, seems grossly exaggerated.
She is painting Norwegians with pretty broad strokes here. The criticism of the shaman, his practices and assertions such as that people cause their own cancer? All racism - well, that's convenient.
