Based on tarot readings, psychic Anne-Marie Østersø has offered forecasts for several members of European royalty and celebrities as 2026 approaches. The predictions, published by Seher magazine, detail a year of nuance for Princess Märtha Louise and her partner Durek Verrett, alongside insights into the fortunes of Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-marit, and Princess Ingrid Alexandra. The readings come after the couple’s private life received increased public attention following the release of a Netflix documentary series, “Rebel Royals.”

Princess Märtha Louise, September 22, 1971 – Durek Verrett, November 17, 1974
I’ve once again had the opportunity to lay out the Tarot cards for Princess Märtha Louise and her partner. And the cards tell me that this will be a year of many nuances for them. Durek is entering the Hermit’s year, and may feel alone with many thoughts and challenges. Märtha is in her Angel year, and will likely focus on further spiritual development.
As with all years, this one has both good and challenging sides – and Märtha needs to be careful not to always be the giver. She must begin to set demands and boundaries. A conflict with a collaborator may arise, which will teach her to follow her own path.
It seems the couple will move in slightly different directions throughout the year – not necessarily separating, but needing more freedom and individual time.
Durek enters the Hermit’s year, which may lead to feelings of isolation and introspection. Märtha is in her Angel year, and will likely focus on continued spiritual development. This dynamic is particularly interesting given the couple’s recent spotlight following the release of their Netflix documentary, “Rebel Royals.”
The cards suggest that Märtha needs to prioritize her own needs and establish boundaries. A potential conflict with a collaborator could arise, serving as a lesson in forging her own path.
“It is now important that they are completely honest with each other – because it seems that they live in an illusion, like in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes,’” Anne-Marie explained. The couple’s dynamic will be key to navigating the year ahead.
The couple may find themselves pursuing individual interests, and needing more personal space throughout the year.
Durek has the Moon as his shadow card, indicating a focus on home life, though perhaps not in the way he’d prefer. He will face challenges and learn from them.
POSSIBLE
MOVE
Princess Ingrid Alexandra,
January 20, 2004
Good Ideas
Princess Ingrid enters
the same phase as her father – the Empress’s year.
That means she will launch new projects and explore and develop
her creative sides.
She is still young,
but stands firmly in her own light.
Abroad calls to her – she is already abroad, but I cannot rule out
that she moves to another country than
where she is now. This will be a year with many
good ideas, and she will want to do everything
at once. Therefore, she must stop and
feel what she really burns for.
Needs Alone Time
She is young, beautiful
and has the whole world at her feet. She has
three 9s in her lucky number – which suggests
that she thrives best when she is far
from home and can be herself.
She will
probably not be plagued by homesickness.
She needs a lot of alone time – even if
she were to be in a relationship. It could
well be a little romance in the air, perhaps
with a foreign man.
Regarding the challenges at home, she shows great care
for her parents and tries to support them as
best she can – while also being good at
letting go and not making their problems
her own. And that is a good quality.
All in all, she is going into a year where everything she touches can turn to gold.
GROWING CLOSER
King Harald, February 21, 1937
Queen Sonja, July 4, 1937
A Positive Effect
Our own royal couple enters the Star’s year
this year. It could be a year of stressful elements for them, and
one of the things that can affect them is the lawsuit against Marius
Borg Høiby.
Even though they are not directly involved in the case,
it affects them – after all, it is their bonus grandson.
Especially Queen Sonja may be emotionally affected.
But on the positive side, the Star’s year can also bring
with it a strengthened love for each other. The challenges in
the royal family have at least had one positive effect: they have actually
brought the royal couple closer together. It is difficult not to
feel for this royal couple, who should really be able to enjoy their old age in peace and quiet – but it doesn’t look like it will be.
AT A CROSSROADS
Prince Sverre Magnus,
December 3, 2005
Thinking About a Lot
The Prince enters the Butterfly’s year – a year where he will begin to spread his wings,
step forward from his more anonymous existence, and
show the world who he is – and what he can do. It is
a pivotal year that he will later look back on, marked by important events.
The Crown Princess’s youngest son stands at a crossroads in life, and when one does, they often spend
a lot of time thinking about everything – from who they
spend time with, to what they should do,
where they should live, and more. It will be a year of strong
personal development.
It is also a year I call “a new chance,” so
he should seize the opportunities that arise.
Creative Soul
He is a strong person – he has
the fate number 8, which stands for Strength. This gives him
the ability to handle what is happening at home in Norway,
both with his mother’s illness and his brother’s lawsuit.
Abroad suits him well, so I am sure that spending
time outside of Norway’s borders will do him
good. He is a creative soul, and will therefore more easily get
new ideas when he is abroad.
For many people, such revelations come more easily when
you are in another place.
He has as his goal in life to be independent, and
given that he has started his own company,
it suits him well. I also see that he will have
great success with this in the long run.
TEMPTED BY
ABROAD
Crown Princess Mette-Marit,
August 19, 1973
Crown Prince Haakon,
July 20, 1973
Challenging Time
Crown Princess
Mette-Marit encounters the Justice card in 2026.
It deals with the legal system, law, and fair judgment.
It is not a judgment against
her, but she may take
blame in relation to her eldest son. She must not
do that, she must remember that we are all
responsible for our own lives, regardless of what excuses we have for behaving as we do.
In this year, she must learn to be
fair to herself. Fortunately, she receives good support from
Crown Prince Haakon. But the lawsuit will undoubtedly affect them
both – and the whole family. It
will be a challenging time, but
it is often in adversity that one becomes
stronger.
Many Duties
Crown Prince Haakon will launch
new projects this year. Despite already having many duties,
including taking over more tasks from
the King, he seems to have a lot of energy and is taking on
even more in 2026.
There may be requests from abroad, so it is
likely that he and Mette-Marit will travel abroad for
a longer period than
usual. This could also give Haakon a well-deserved break and an
opportunity to recover.
In June, they stand together at
a kind of crossroads, and it seems
that they then settle accounts with the past and start a new
chapter in their lives
