Princess Martha Louise of Norway is set to marry American shaman Durek Verret, which has sparked criticism amid declining support for the royal family.
The princess has distanced herself from royal duties to work closer with her fiancé, though she retains her title. Durek Verret, claiming to be a shaman, has faced skepticism.
Despite an agreement to avoid commercial use of royal connections, Martha Louise's recent gin branding, named with her title, led to backlash and was later changed.
The couple's actions, including selling wedding photo rights, have drawn protests from Norwegian media, which sees their choices as contrary to traditional practices.
