The princess has faced intense public criticism for launching the Astarte Education centre - which promises to teach students to ‘create miracles’ in their lives ‘with angels and with your own force’ - and some have even called for her to be stripped of her royal title.
But Queen Sonja told NRK TV News: ‘This is her own business venture. It’s her responsibility.
‘It is okay if she feels she has some abilities that can help others.’ Asked if she believes in angels herself, the queen said ‘Not exactly angels, but something between heaven and earth.’ With regards to how Princess Martha’s new project reflects on the monarchy the Queen Sonja said: ‘That’s up for others to decide.’ Critics have demanded Princess Martha is banned from using her royal title to promote her school and there have also been calls for her to leave the church.
As a member of Norway’s Royal Family, the 35-year-old princess is expected to uphold the beliefs of the state Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Princess Martha defended herself in an exclusive interview with NRK TV News, saying she still considered herself a Christian and was thankful the church still had room for her. She also said she believes angels were not physical, but creatures of light, which made her feel a strong presence and gave her loving support.

The two princes both feature in Cosmopolitan magazine’s Eligible Eleven, after readers chose them two of the man they would most like to be wooed by.
Harry narrowly won bragging rights by taking third place in the poll with 16 per cent, just two per cent ahead of William in fourth.
The top spot was taken by Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom, with 21 per cent of the vote.
It is not the first time the pair have featured on a list of desirable men.
In June, the royal brothers joined the likes of Hollywood stars Matthew McConaughey, Jake Gyllenhaal and ‘Fantastic Four’ star Chris Evans in America’s People magazine’s annual poll of the world’s hottest bachelors.
Last year, readers of New Woman magazine also voted William 25th and Harry 56th in a list of the 100 Sexiest Men in the World.

The ‘Gladiator’ actor has reportedly been approached by director J.J. Abrams, who is said to be desperate to get him on board for the long-awaited sci-fi epic.
A source said: "Russell is definitely considering J.J. Abrams’ offer. Russell was always a ‘Star Trek’ fan as a kid, which is a big bonus." Abrams is reportedly keen to cast Crowe, 43, as an evil character who will play a pivotal role in the eleventh ‘Star Trek’ movie.
The source said: "A baddie would seem more likely for Russell. He could play a part in the historic movie without having to compete with any of the original cast’s performances." ‘Heroes’ star Zachary Quinto will play Mr. Spock, while it is yet to be announced who will take on the iconic role of Captain James Kirk.
‘Star Trek’ legend Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock in the original 60s TV series, has already signed up for an "extended cameo" as an older incarnation of the half-Vulcan half-human.
It has also been rumoured Abrams’ friend Tom Cruise could make a surprise appearance in the film.
The new movie is due for release in December 2008.

The 31-year-old Australian actress - who is expecting her first child with the ‘Borat…’ actor in October - has no plans to follow in the footsteps of previous couples such as Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, or Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and share a screen with her partner, because it always ends in disaster. She told Britain’s The Times newspaper: ‘God, no! I mean, how successful are married working relationships? Nicole and Tom split up after ‘Eyes Wide Shut’. Sandra Oh and her director husband Alexander Payne separated after ‘Sideways’. I feel like working together is the kiss of death.’ The diminutive ‘Wedding Crashers’ star also revealed she feels like a ‘circus freak’ next to her towering lover.
She added: ‘I really enjoyed not being noticed, but we’re starting to have our pictures taken a little more often now. I think it’s because Sacha’s so tall while I’m so small. I’m like a circus freak!’ Isla - who will next star in the comedy ‘Hot Rod’ about a stuntman who plans to jump 15 buses on a motorcycle - added she was happy to convert to Judaism so she could marry Jewish Sacha.
The actress, who has been dating the comic star for five years, revealed: ‘We’re definitely going to have a beautiful traditional Jewish wedding. I’d do anything to ensure our future together as man and wife. To that end I’ve been learning about Judaism, which I find very beautiful. It has enriched my life enormously. I love religions and find them fascinating.’

The ‘Sahara’ star, who is rarely seen in public wearing anything more than a pair of shorts, donned a shirt to meet Brazilian model Camilla Alves’ mother for the first time at her birthday party at Hollywood’s Cuban restaurant El Floridita.
A fellow diner said: "Matthew wore a black shirt and khaki trousers.
"He and Camilla left the restaurant hand-in-hand. He was very affectionate to her." Matthew recently agreed to move out of his beachside trailer to keep Camilla happy.
The 37-year-old actor had been enjoying a bachelor lifestyle in his Airstream trailer on a Malibu beach while filming his latest movie ‘Surfer Dude’.
However, Camilla was not prepared to slum it in his mobile home and insisted they relocate.
A source said: ‘Matthew was in the bar with some friends. He told them he was going to ditch the trailer because Camilla was unimpressed with it. He is going to start house hunting.’

The actress – who is currently dating Justin Timberlake – plays a stripper in her new movie ‘Powder Blue’ and is dreading her family’s reaction to her raunchy role.
Jessica, 25, told Glamour magazine: "I definitely worry about how my family would react. You can’t help thinking about your dad or brother seeing something.
"I don’t have to be fully naked for the movie. I haven’t decided exactly about the nudity. It’s a tough one. I’m considering it but it’s a very scary thing to do.
"It definitely feels vulnerable to be naked in front of anybody, let alone a film crew. "And it’s scary because of the internet – you don’t know where it’s going to end up. It’s a moment that could be exploited. I don’t worry too much about only being sent roles that require me to be naked because this is such a beautiful script and it’s not gratuitous." Despite being rated number one in Stuff magazine’s 100 Sexiest Women 2007, the actress still has some insecurities about her body.
Jessica said: "Clearly I don’t wake up and go ‘Woh, I’m the sexiest woman alive.’ "My least favourite part of my body is my legs. They could be longer or leaner. I would love to have naturally rippling beautiful calves, but mine are not defined and they never will be.
"I just have to come to terms with the fact that I’ll never have volleyball players’ legs. But I’m OK with it."

The ‘Rehab’ singer - who was rushed to hospital last week after allegedly taking a cocktail of ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol - regularly parties in the trendy Camden area and her father Mitch is convinced she needs to move away.
Mitch and Amy’s manager Ray have been house-hunting for the star in a quiet suburb of London.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "Mitch and Ray want her to escape the whole scene for the sake of her career and are going to look into it. They talked about whether they should rent or buy a house for Amy to use as a bolthole." Ray has even reportedly visited Amy’s favourite Camden pubs and begged them to keep an eye on the singer and her new husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
The source added: "Ray has been to see the landlords of pubs in Camden to ask them to keep Amy in check. He wants them to look out for hangers-on who might lead her into trouble." Amy recently claimed her father will help her beat her drugs problem, saying: ‘He sorts me out. When I get self-destructive I just need to spend time with my dad.’ The 23-year-old has reportedly flown to the US with Blake in a bid to get clean, after Mitch organised an "emergency summit" following her hospitalisation.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was only when Amy saw her family falling apart that she realised she had to do something. She confessed that she and Blake have a drugs problem. They now realise that if they don’t get help now, they will both die young. This is their wake-up call." Mitch is also said to have ordered Blake to have an implant fitted to help him quit drugs.

The reclusive eccentric singer - whose career has been in free fall since his 2005 child molestation trial - upset his family when he failed to turn up to TJ’s nuptials two weeks ago.
But Trini Poncedelleon - the girlfriend of TJ’s father Tito - claims Michael no longer feels comfortable being seen in public.
She said: ‘It hurt TJ, but since the court case it’s sunk in that people will try to take advantage of him.’ Michael - who was found not guilty on 10 accounts of child abuse - recently claimed acquaintances tried to steal his fortune during the court case.
The pop star admitted he was close to financial ruin when disloyal advisor Don Stabler urged him to sign a deal that would see him lose a large part of his fortune.
Reverend Jesse Jackson and billionaire Ron Burkle advised him not to sign it.
Michael recalled: ‘I vehemently told them, ‘No, I am not signing this.’ And I just remember how angry, the intensity of the anger in the room. And so they marched out.’

The ‘Careless Whisper’ singer, who was sentenced to 100 hours in June for being unfit for driving through tiredness and taking prescription drugs, is working as a gardener alongside drug addicts and alcoholics at a London homeless hostel.
Michael, who kept a low profile wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, revealed he is "enjoying" the task.
He said: "I’m just like everyone else. If you do something stupid you have to pay the price. I’ve been doing some gardening and it’s great. I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s going well. I’ll do whatever they want me to do. I’m looking forward to helping out and I don’t want any special treatment." The singer, who spent three hours sorting and planting seeds yesterday (13.08.07), impressed hostel residents who say he was friendly and a hard worker.
William Bowie revealed to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "Most of us are addicts or ex-addicts so we can relate to him. He seemed happy to chat. He’s just like everybody else, except he has a lot more money." Michael previously begged the judge who sentenced him to let him spend his community service helping young musicians.
The 44-year-old singer was found slumped over the wheel of his Mercedes car at a set of traffic lights on a busy London road last October.
Tests showed a therapeutic amount of an anti-depressant in the singer’s system along with illegal dance club drug GHB.

The song – entitled ‘Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)’ - was recorded by the legendary musicians over 30 years ago and will feature on Jagger’s new compilation album ‘The Very Best of Mick Jagger’.
The track features Jagger on vocals, the late Lennon on guitar and Lennon’s fellow Beatle Ringo Starr on drums.
It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1973 and was produced by Lennon.
The song never received a public release at the time, but fetched £1,400 at a London auction in 2003.
A source said: "Apparently Mick had forgotten about the song for a number of years.
"But thanks to the auction some people got to hear it again and it sounded good." The Rolling Stones frontman’s 17-track ‘Best of…’ album also includes duets with Bono and David Bowie and is set for release in October.

The ‘Toxic’ singer – currently working on her comeback album after a two-year break – is planning a surprise performance at the Las Vegas ceremony on September 9.
A representative for MTV said: "I cannot confirm or deny it." Britney, 25, has shocked fans with her recent behaviour. After divorcing husband Kevin Federline, the mother-of-two has gone off the rails, indulging in wild partying, shaving her head, attacking the paparazzi and ruining designer clothes at an OK! magazine photo shoot.
Her mini-comeback tour was criticised after Britney lip-synched to her past hits.
Meanwhile, a close friend of Britney’s, known only as Jeff, has defended her against allegations of drug taking and being a bad mother to sons Sean Preston, 23 months and Jayden James, 11 months.
Jeff said: "Britney does NOT do drugs! ‘Anyone close to Britney knows that she’s an angel when it comes to being a mom and a friend.
"Her kids are everything to her, there’s no doubt about it."

The 31-year-old ‘Alexander’ star has slammed reports 22-year-old medical student Muireann McDonell is having his baby.
Colin’s representative Danica Smith said: "She is not pregnant." A source claimed last week: ‘She’s just under three months along now. They’re trying to keep it quiet.’ Colin already has a three-year-old son, James, from his relationship with American model Kim Bordenave.
The ‘Phone Booth’ star has previously said fatherhood inspired him to change his wild partying ways and check into rehab to be treated for an addiction to prescription painkillers.
Colin - who was renowned for his womanising, drinking and drug use - said: ‘I was burning the candle at both ends and the flames met in the middle. But now I have a new-found appreciation of life. I wasn’t suicidal but I never had much of a will to live for a long time.
‘Now I want to watch my son grow up, be his friend and his father, and hang around with him. He’s the greatest priority in my life.’ The ‘Miami Vice’ star was briefly married to English actress Amelia Warner, but they split just a few months after tying the knot in July 2001.
Colin stars alongside Edward Norton and former girlfriend Lake Bell in new movie ‘Pride and Glory’.

The actress and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumoured to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to. The couple – who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia – believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family.
A source close to the couple – who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: "Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family. "Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together." The couple are said to be planning to visit Ethiopia’s Wide Horizons agency, the same place that introduced them to Zahara, in November.
Angelina, 32, recently admitted she and Brad, 43, were planning on adopting again.
She said: "I want to find an equilibrium between family and work. Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family is expensive."

The 63-year-old ‘Sexy Beast’ star – who plays a psychiatrist who gives a drug dealer therapy in exchange for marijuana in Jonathan Levine’s new movie ‘The Wackness’ – has to passionately kiss the 21-year-old actress, who is young enough to be his daughter, in the steamy scene.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "It was a full on make-out session. They locked lips for ages. It was quite cringe-worthy to watch." The scene was shot at New York’s Greenpoint bar.
Mary-Kate – one half of teen brand phenomenon ‘The Wholesome Olsens’ with identical twin Ashley – is embarking on a solo acting career. She had a small speaking part in ‘Factory Girl’ earlier this year but it was cut to a walk on part.
She has also landed a lead role in US TV show ‘Weeds’.
Mary-Kate will play Tara, a God-fearing girl who becomes the love interest of Silas, played by Hunter Parrish.
A series producer said: ‘’Weeds’ isn’t your eight o’clock family fare. It’s an adult show and adult subject matter, and we’re confident Mary-Kate is right for the role. She came in and read with Hunter and was absolutely charming and real and seemed like a great fit. ‘Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate, but here we’ll see her in a whole new light.’ Mary-Kate’s latest roles are noticeably different from the wholesome characters she and Ashley played on ABC’s comedy series ‘Full House’. After their stint on the series ended, Mary-Kate and Ashley starred in a number of children’s TV series and movies, including ‘So Little Time’ and ‘New York Minute’.

The Irish ‘X Factor’ judge claims the recently reunited girl band can’t sing and are uglier than Girls Aloud - who he previously managed.
Louis raged to Britain’s Star magazine: ‘The Spice Girls are very lucky and very overrated.
‘They’re only reuniting because they have nothing else to do, nothing else is happening in their lives. One’s just the wife of a soccer star and the others are not on the radar. They’re well past their sell-by date.
‘They’re nice girls but just too overrated. I’m sick of them.
‘None of them can sing and their music is not half as good as Girls Aloud’s. Girls Aloud are also better looking.
‘The Spice Girls appealed to little girls. It wasn’t good music. Those girls are just not talented - one-trick ponies.’ The 55-year-old also slammed Robbie Williams and Will Young.
He said: ‘It’s great what’s happened with Take That getting back together, and they didn’t need Robbie. He’s overrated and has lost his sense of reality. He should be grateful that he has been so successful with not a lot of talent. I don’t like his voice.’ Louis insists he does enjoy Will’s music, but can’t stand his personality.
He added: ‘Will Young is too pretentious. His albums have done well. ‘Leave Right Now’ was a fantastic song, but I’m not keen on him.’ But Louis has nothing but praise for fresh British talents Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.
He said: ‘I love Lily Allen, and I especially love Amy Winehouse.
‘These are talented girls who also have charisma. Both are representing UK talent abroad. Give me Amy Winehouse’s music any day. She makes credible music.’

The ‘Skeleton Key’ star’s ex-husband, Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, is said to be delighted about her new romance because it means he can see more of their three-year-old son Ryder.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: ‘Dax is basically living at her house right now. The rest of her family is a little annoyed.
‘Chris is thrilled because now he can have Ryder whenever he wants. Kate gets a little more distracted when new men come into her life.’ Kate’s representative, Brad Cafarelli, has denied the actress is neglecting Ryder because of her new romance, saying: ‘None of what you’re speculating here is accurate.’ Kate split from Chris a year ago, shortly after starring with Owen Wilson in romantic comedy ‘You, Me and Dupree’. While both Kate and Owen denied they were having an affair while filming the movie, they began dating and went public with their relationship in April.
They split in June amid rumours Kate was unhappy with Owen’s lack of commitment.
The ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ actress began dating Dax, 32, last month.
