Overview

• Netflix released Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story on September 16, following Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett and featuring exclusive wedding footage.
• Guri Varpe, speaking for the palace, said the couple’s participation violates a 2022 agreement not to use the princess title or royal ties commercially and said the matter will be addressed in upcoming conversations.
• Netflix has adjusted on‑screen wording by removing references such as “Märtha Louise of Norway,” according to VG, with the palace saying it had no direct dialogue with the streamer.
• Märtha Louise and Verrett issued a conciliatory statement expressing regret for aspects of the release and saying there are things they wish they had handled differently.
• Crown Princess Mette‑Marit said she has not seen the film but expects discussions at court, as the documentary also recounts racist abuse and online hate directed at Verrett.
