The soon-to-be husband of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and self-professed shaman has accused the royal’s friends of racism. Durek Verrett, who is set to tie the knot with the King of Norway’s eldest daughter next week, claimed that Märtha Louise’s pals displayed “racist” and “disrespectful” behavior toward him when they first met.

“I decided to pour water to everyone’s cups and one of Martha’s friends, the guy said, ‘Oh this is what you should be doing. This is what you’re meant to be doing’ And they all laughed,” Verrett said on the Nettavisen ‘s “Stavrum & Eikeland” podcast. “That is so racist and so disrespectful and so rude in front of Martha’s parents,” he said of the remark, adding that Märtha Louise’s parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja, “noticed it and didn’t like it.
