Overview
- At a palace gala for Norway’s parliament on October 23, King Harald V joked about the attention on the Netflix series, floating a tongue‑in‑cheek sequel title, “Kongen minutt for minutt,” and quipping it could even be sleep‑inducing.
- A Carina Bergfeldt talk‑show episode recorded October 13 aired October 24, showing Princess Märtha Louise in tears as she spoke about ex‑husband Ari Behn’s 2019 suicide.
- Durek Verrett described Behn’s death as one of his toughest moments as a “bonus father,” and Märtha Louise called him her “rock” during the family’s grief.
- Netflix released “Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story” in September, reigniting scrutiny over the couple’s alleged sale of exclusive wedding media rights and the claimed commercial use of the princess title, accusations cited by the palace.
- Märtha Louise stepped back from royal duties years ago, and the court has previously stated it will not tolerate racism toward Verrett.
