Princess Märtha Louise , 52 , and US shaman Durek Verrett , 49 , wed in Alesund , western Norway .

Hundreds of guests are arriving for a 'meet and greet' in a historic hotel on Friday .

They will then travel to Geirager , on the shores of a fjord designated a Unesco World Heritage Site .

The couple will tie the knot at a private event on Saturday .

Ms Skrede said many Norwegians are “tired of this behaviour", which some feel shows the princess “disrespects” her father.

Locals are also upset that Norwegian media is excluded from covering the wedding.

It was also revealed that the couple has been working with Netflix for a year on an “in-depth and moving documentary” on their relationship.
