King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway have until now been silent about controversial statements made by their future son-in-law, Durek Verrett. Among them is that he recovered from coronavirus with the help of a medallion. He sells the same medallion on his website for more than 200 US dollars. Now, King Harald and Queen Sonja have spoken about this for the first time.
Speaking to the press during the county trip to Western Norway, which began on August 30th 2022, they commented for the first time the statements from Durek Verrett.
King Harald said: “Now I am so lucky, or unlucky, that I have recently had the experience of being sick. And in this country we have an excellent health system, I can only say that it is very good to have such a health system as we have in Norway. And even Durek Verrett has benefited from our health system also.”
The Norwegian King continued about his daughter’s fiance learning the royal ropes, saying: “I do not think it has fully sunk in yet what we mean, but we are in a process and this will eventually work itself out. We get to know each other better and better, and we will talk to him, as we do in a family. So, it is going to work out. But I don’t promise that it will be resolved tomorrow. It is the culture collision we are now noticing.”
Durek Verrett got engaged to Princess Märtha Louise in June. Shortly after their engagement, the couple said in a live broadcast on Instagram that they have received both hate and death threats after they got together.
The medallion statement is not the first time Durek Verrett has attracted attention and criticism. Two years ago, the publisher Cappelen Damm stopped a planned publication of Verrett’s book “Spirit Hacking” due to ethical considerations. In the book, Verrett wrote, among other things, that cancer is self-inflicted and a result of us no longer wanting to live.
