Overview

• Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story is now streaming on Netflix, tracing Princess Märtha Louise’s relationship and 2024 wedding to Durek Verrett.
• The Royal House told NRK it wants a clearer separation between the couple’s media ventures and official representation, with further discussions planned.
• A scene showing Crown Prince Haakon from the private wedding celebration was used in an early screener and was removed at the palace’s request.
• The film foregrounds racist abuse and cultural friction around Verrett, featuring a clip of Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview and Harry praising King Harald’s 2022 anti-racism statement.
• The documentary revisits disputed allegations about Verrett with leaked 2020 voicemails; a title card notes his denial and ongoing legal action, and it reports that he is on dialysis and seeking a kidney transplant.
