Norwegians want to strip Martha Louise of her title

Almost seven out of ten Norwegians want Princess Märtha Louise to be stripped of her princess title, according to a survey by Norstat published by the public service company NRK.

At the same time, confidence in the Norwegian royal house is dwindling, according to the survey. 62 percent now say they support the monarchy – compared to 68 percent in August.

The dramatic decline this summer must be said to be remarkable, says Tor Bomann-Larsen, historian and author of books about the Norwegian monarchy, to NRK.

The Norwegian royal house has been hotly debated in recent weeks due to Märtha Louise's wedding to the scandal-ridden self-proclaimed shaman Durek Verrett. "Embarrassing" and "comical", Norwegian commentators have commented on the event.

In the survey, 69 percent respond that she should be stripped of her princess title and only 16 percent that she should be allowed to keep it.

Tor Bomann-Larsen emphasizes that another event has shaken the royal house this summer: the ongoing police investigation against Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, who has been accused of, among other things, assaulting his girlfriend.

The survey was conducted on 3–5 September with 1,011 respondents.
