‘He brainwashes people’: Why the shaman’s mother, Norwegian princess’ fiancé says, spoke out against her son

Princess Martha Louise, 51, never tires of demonstrating her love for her exotic fiancé in public. Durek Verret, 48, zoterik, shaman, friend to Hollywood stars and just a brilliant man, appeared in a mother-of-three’s life like a comet – and made the widowed daughter of King Harald, fourth in line of the Throne of Norway, believe that his life will shine with new happiness. But society was highly skeptical of Martha Louise’s new novel…

Durek’s mother, Verushka Urquhart, who lives in New York, gave an exclusive interview to the Norwegian press for the first time and said bluntly that her son is a manipulator and “brainwashes people, washes the princess”. . The woman questioned Durek’s shamanic abilities and admitted that he was not at all as loving and gentle a person as he wants to appear – and he broke her heart.

Durek’s spiritual work as a shaman is viewed with suspicion in Norway. Despite the fact that his princess-wife never tires of assuring everyone that there is no doubt about the abilities of her lover: “He really is a shaman”, insists Martha Louise, responding to the derogatory remarks. When asked how to become a shaman, Martha Louise explained that such a spiritual journey for a person is “planned by the ancestors.”

Verushka, Durek’s mother, literally laughed at the whole thing. “What I really believe is that her brain exists separately from her body,” the woman said in a sensational interview with Norwegian newspaper Se og Hør.

More worryingly, the Norwegian princess’ possible future mother-in-law isn’t the only person to say outright that Durek isn’t who he claims to be.

Verrett’s former close friend Hank Greenberg spoke to reporters shortly after learning of the shaman’s engagement to the heir to the throne. He argued: Durek is a very toxic person and a born manipulator who subjugates people who consider themselves close to him to his will. “I was completely brainwashed,” Greenberg said. “It was so bad when we were talking that my parents told me multiple times that they didn’t recognize me.” Hank claimed that the sole purpose of his communication with the press was to warn Martha Louise. But she ignored the warnings.

Opposed Durek and his ex-manager and girlfriend Tiana Griego. “I completely understand how Martha Louise is feeling right now and why she is protecting Durek. I was like that when I worked and lived with him. remembers Tiana. “People tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen. He is a master at manipulating others, almost like a magician.”

Princess Martha Louise bewitched Durek, that’s for sure. But has the heiress really fallen into the trap of a charlatan? Four years of a relationship in the face of such serious hatred on all fronts would have put a frivolous person to flight. But the royal and the shaman are not giving up on their wedding plans. Maybe miracles happen? Or are the stakes in this game too high?
