Norway’s Princess Märtha Louise has publicly condemned false pregnancy claims stemming from AI-generated deepfake images of her with a baby bump. The images, which surfaced on two social media accounts in Norwegian and German, were removed by Meta for violating guidelines on coordinated inauthentic behavior. The royal's spokesperson confirmed the images were manipulated and stated that they are taking the matter seriously. This incident follows a similar attack on the Norwegian royal family in June, where AI-generated images of then-Crown Princess Mette-Marit were circulated online. Princess Märtha Louise, who married American shaman Durek Verrett in 2024, has faced ongoing scrutiny and controversy since their union. The couple remains prominent figures in Norway's royal family despite public backlash.
