Princess Märtha Louise in a brand-new meeting: - I am possibly the individual in Norway who has actually received the most objection Princess Märtha Louise opens up regarding the criticism, the pain over her ex-husband's death as well as how it is not to take control of the throne in a brand-new interview with Swedish television.

It is an open-hearted Princess Märtha Louise that has actually enabled herself to be spoken with by Swedish TV In the hour-long interview, the princess discusses the shock as well as despair after her ex-husband's fatality.

About just how she experiences standing in the media tornado with her future husband Durek Verrett which she assumes it's remarkable that it is not her that will certainly take control of the throne The princess is talked to by one of Sweden's best-known speakers, Anna Hedenmo.

Felt like a "punching bag" Big components of the interview have to do with exactly how Märtha Louise has lived in the public spotlight given that she was birthed According to the princess, it was particularly requiring in the teenage years.

She claims that "she believed every person disliked her because it was created negatively constantly" - I believed people would certainly toss tomatoes at me as well as boo the following time I was out in public.

Yet it wasn't like that And also after that I recognized that journalism does not constantly represent what people assume.

- Yet you claimed earlier that you have recognized yourself as "a punching bag", asks speaker Hedenmo - Yes, I am possibly the one in Norway who has actually obtained the most objection of all, I assume.

- Throughout Norway? - Yes, I believe so, over all the years, yes, claims the princess She stresses that experience solid objection often tend to handle it for a much shorter amount of time.

- I have actually seen others who are used to being in the media as well as maybe for a short period obtain the same objection and power towards them They last extremely short and also need to go to therapy.

- I believe that the internal job I have actually carried out in finding myself as well as understanding that I am has actually aided me to stand in this, she adds - Some criticism is self-inflicted Trond Norén Isaksen is a historian and also royal home specialist.

He provides the princess partly the right in her statements about the criticism - Head of state Støre receives more objection than her.

However she has a factor, since she has gotten objection equally dispersed over the previous 16 years Perhaps not as extreme criticism as there can be in politics sometimes, yet she is in this permanently as well as not for a short duration.

- The princess states she has seemed like a "punching bag"? - I can recognize that she really feels that way However she may not consider that this is also concerning debatable options she has made, which she has not constantly took care of the equilibrium between her commercial duty and the duty of princess.

To some level this is self-inflicted - Understood he was having a hard time For 15 years, Princess Märtha Louise was married to Ari Behn and they had 3 daughters with each other.

They divorced in 2017 On Christmas Day 2019, Behn took her very own life.

The princess claims that she knew her ex-husband battled psychologically, that he was extremely reduced and had clinical depression She chatted to him in the days prior to but didn't know what was going on.

- So it was a shock for you and your girls? - It was a huge shock - Did he experience psychological disease in their marriage? - I do not understand, however it was challenging sometimes which's what marriage is.

Yet he struggled emotionally, so of course, he probably did, she claims Aftenposten has actually contacted the princess's manager Carina Scheele Carlsen and requested for a talk about the meeting.

She replies that the interview stands well in itself and that they have nothing more to add Asks the press to be gentler on Durek On her Instagram profile, the princess has several times been harsh with the press.

In an article, she wrote about how the press criticized her late ex-husband Ari Behn He pursued.

Criticized and criticized He wasn't going to get away with anything.

The press self-criticized this when he was dead I hope they don't wait as long to come to their senses this time.

" In the interview, she is confronted with her post - Do you think that the media is responsible for his death? - They said that themselves to some extent.

His mental health depended a lot on him getting a lot of flak in the media But I say it was nobody's fault.

- The press had self-criticism about this after he died, that they were perhaps a bit slow with him, that he only received criticism and such, and actually he was a very nice person They never said that when he was with me, then he was just a peacock and arrogant.

- What do you mean by you hope the media "don't wait as long for their self-criticism this time"? - I hope they can be gentler with Durek and appreciate him for who he is, rather than just taking everything and presenting it as the most negative thing - Are you worried about his life? - No, but I am more worried now that something like this has happened.

You get post-traumatic stress syndrome after something like this, and my mental health has not been so good for two years after Ari died, says the princess difficult balancing act - She has a point, because Ari Behn did not become popular until he died, says Norén Isaksen.

- Some of the criticism against Ari Behn was also about the choices he made and the difficult balancing act between the role of a member of the royal family and an independent artist He received both negative and positive reviews for his work, he says.

- I can understand that Durek Verrett finds it difficult to be put in a strong critical spotlight There is no doubt that he experiences racism, but all criticism against him is not racially motivated.

It is also about factual criticism of what he stands for and what he sells Happy that she will not take over the throne When the princess was in her teens, there was discussion that women should also have the right of succession to the throne.

The princess says in the interview that then Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland came to the home of the then crown prince family to discuss the change That would mean that the princess, as the first-born, would become the heir to the throne.

She says that she was invited into the discussions But in the end it was her grandfather King Olav who concluded that "you don't take a horse out of the race until it's finished".

In the sense that when the whole upbringing was planned for Haakon to take over, they would not change it until the next generation - What do you think about it? - I think it was a bit delicious actually, says the princess.

- Because it is difficult to be heir to the throne, be there for the people and own it yourself You have to go through a lot, I think, to want to choose that path.

You also have to make a lot of sacrifices You have to sacrifice what you want to do in life, but you can also shape that job.

- Considering that you have really followed your own path in life How would that suit you? - I don't think it would have gone so well, maybe.

I am very happy that Haakon is doing it and he will be a wonderful king, she says - I think most people in Norway agree with her, says royal house expert Norén Isaksen.

- The Crown Prince is obviously better suited to be head of state, he says Opening for a comeback This autumn, the princess renounced her royal patronage in order to distinguish more clearly between her commercial work and the royal family.

She describes the job as royal protector as rewarding She says she is sorry that she will no longer represent the organisations.

- Can you get your assignments back? - I do not know - Do you hope so? - If it turns out like this, I will say yes to it, says the princess.
