Overview

  • Maud Angelica Behn, 22, publicly came out as bisexual on June 29 with an Instagram post celebrating Oslo Pride that read, “Happy Pride von einer bisexuellen Person.”
  • Princess Märtha Louise responded under her daughter’s post, writing “Du bist wunderschön… Liebe ist Liebe” to express pride and unconditional love.
  • On July 1 she shared her own post declaring “Liebe ist nie falsch” and praising those who have the courage to live authentically during Pride Month.
  • Märtha Louise’s husband, shaman Durek Verrett, is also openly bisexual, reflecting the family’s broader embrace of LGBTQ+ identities.
  • The royal family's active affirmation of bisexuality signals a move away from Norway’s historically reserved monarchy toward greater inclusivity.
