...he's part Norwegian?
Ha ha, was about to point that out too! But does he mean in this life or a previous one?
...he's part Norwegian?
Yes, from his mother's side....he's part Norwegian?
I guess that's enough for him to refer to himself as partly Norwegian...Considering the Sham has a propensity for embellishing until we see actual genealogical records I question much of anything he says about his family's background. If ML were an Italian princess I can't help but think he would be saying he is part Italian. However...
Early on in the lovebirds relationship Marlene Eilers Koenig addressed Sham's background on her Royal Musings blogpost. Royal Musings: Princess Martha Louise announces she is in love again
His mother is listed as Shiela Farmer living in New Mexico at the time of her marriage to David Verrett in Las Vegas in 1972. Given this from the history of names: "The name Farmer came to England with the ancestors of the Farmer family in the Norman Conquest in 1066." So, looking into the way wayback machine Sham decended from Vikings.

For what it's worth, this website takes issue with many of the claims Durek Verrett has made about his family, including his alleged Norwegian ancestry:

More than a private investigator, why haven't the Norwegian intelligence services told him to take a hike yet? Can they surely know everything about him, more than ML does, and not consider him a security risk? Or do they not concern themselves with ML because she's not part of the Royal House? :/
Which actions of his have risked the country's national security?
As I said - don't they have to worry about ML's personal security, or do they not because she's not part of the Royal House? He's together with the child of a reigning monarch and the sister of a future one. He could be any kind of a risk, including none, and I still imagine they would have to go over every single thing they know about him to his face.
Maybe it partly explains why he's been on good behavior, thus far.

Good point, Tatiana Maria. ML's boyfriend appears to be an exceptionally clever con artist with a very concerning past history. If a vulnerable member of my family were being brainwashed and exploited we would certainly try to intervene however possible. Considering Martha Louise is a member of the royal family I would hope close attention is being given to every move this man makes while he is a guest in Norway. The guy is bad news!
Interesting, I wonder if Durek's Norwegian heritage was one of the reasons why he clicked with ML. It's a small world indeed!
Ahhh... George Harrison made the mistake once stating that jelly beans were his favorite treat. I love jelly beans but damn... that never connected me at all with George.
They share a mutual heritage from the past but I don't believe that "drew" them together any more than me eating jelly beans would draw me closer to George.
