A school newly created by Norway's Princess Maertha Louise for students who wish to "get in contact with angels" was due to open last week at an undisclosed location because of the controversy it has caused.Maertha Louise, who claims to be clairvoyant, says the school will offer students the chance to get in contact with their angels, described as "forces that surround us and who are a resource and help in all the aspects of our lives." The three-year program, which costs approximately $13,000, also involves alternative therapies such as hands-on treatment and healing.
Many Norwegians consider the idea wacky, according to media reports. Newspaper Bergens Tidende has called for Maertha Louise, the daughter of King Harald, to renounce her title, while Swedish author and columnist Jan Guillou urged her to "seek treatment".
On Saturday, the princess defended her project on Norwegian public service television. "I'm glad I wasn't born 200 years ago, because I would surely have been burned at the stake long ago," she said.
