Princess Märtha Louise faces calls to lose royal title

Royal expert Tove Taalesen is calling for King Haakon VIII to strip Princess Märtha Louise of her royal title. This demand follows a legal controversy involving the Princess and her husband, Durek Verrett.

Verrett and Märtha Louise recently filed an $80 million defamation and breach of confidentiality lawsuit in a US court against a former partner, a half-sister, and a former friend. This legal action has reignited debates in Norway regarding the Princess's status within the monarchy. While the late King Harald V. maintained her title based on her lineage, Taalesen argues that the current monarch should reconsider her position due to recent scandals.
