Martha recently undertook a speaking tour with her American boyfriend, Shaman Durek – a spiritual healer to the stars – called “The Princess and the Shaman.”

However, Martha’s use of the title Princess in a commercial context was frowned upon, and has since resulted in the decision to drop the title.

“There have been many discussions about my use of title in a commercial context lately. The fact that I used Princess in the title of my tour, I have said before that I am very sorry, and I still stand by that. It was a mistake and I understand that it provokes when the princess title is used this way,” Martha wrote on her Instagram account.

“The discussions are something I have taken seriously, and in collaboration with my family we have found that it is best that we make some changes.

“We have therefore jointly come to the conclusion that I use the title princess when I represent the Royal House, do my official assignments at home and abroad and in private contexts. From now on I will not use my princess title in a commercial context. That is, in all commercial contexts, I only use Martha Louise.

“I find this to be a good solution where there is a clear distinction between my business activities and my role as representative of the Royal House, and that I have thus created room for greater freedom in my business activities.”

Martha is the daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja and is fourth in line to the Norwegian throne.
