Princess Märtha Louise announces big news! Wedding with Durek Verrett will be „untraditional“
Princess Märtha Louise is gearing up for her wedding with Durek Verrett, and despite some loose ends still up in the air, the daughter of King Harald is already sharing some initial details.
„A wedding should be a joyful occasion for all involved. Including us…“, Princess Märtha Louise, 52, mentioned in an Instagram post on April 16, 2024. Prior to this, the fiancée of Durek Verrett, 49, expressed frustration over alleged lies being spread about the shaman by a Norwegian magazine. As a result, the couple decided not to give any public interviews until their wedding on August 31 – especially not about the ceremony.
Breaking this commitment, the Princess has now shared more details. According to information she revealed at a conference in Switzerland at the end of May, Märtha Louise is now opening up on her podcast „HeartSmart Conversations“.
Princess Märtha Louise + Durek Verrett: Wedding will be „untraditional“
The love between Märtha Louise and Durek not only unites them but also brings together different desires and visions for their big day. In a conversation with her co-hosts Lilli Bendriss, 78, and Mari Manzetti, the Princess announced, „I think it will be very untraditional for a Norwegian wedding. There will probably be some surprises for people. Especially because we have chosen to do it the way we want.“ She did not elaborate further at this point. Currently, she and Durek are likely deeply immersed in the preparations, with Märtha Louise admitting to feeling the stress.
There are also minor disagreements between the future bride and groom: while the shaman does not want any speeches, Märtha Louise does not want to miss the opportunity to say or hear some loving words at the wedding. She is confident, „It will be fine. Once I get there, it will still be good, even if everything goes wrong. Because I don’t care if something goes wrong or if things go as planned. It will be fantastic, because Durek and I are getting married.“
In late May, Märtha Louise sat down with the newspaper „Blick“ for an interview on the sidelines of a conference in Switzerland. She already described her upcoming wedding as the highlight of her personal year 2024. „I’m really looking forward to it, it will be great,“ Märtha Louise gushed optimistically.
Palace puts small obstacles in Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett’s path to the altar
Not everyone is a fan of the relationship between Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett. The shaman has caused turmoil in the Norwegian royal family in the past. In January 2024, King Harald, 87, made headlines with significant words contradicting his potential son-in-law. Additionally, the Palace distanced itself from the celebration in February, stating, „Princess Märtha Louise’s wedding is privately organized and will take place without the support of the Royal Court. The Royal Court will therefore not participate financially or in any other way in the event.“ Despite this, Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett are determined to fight for their love. They receive support primarily from the Princess’s three daughters: The 52-year-old has repeatedly emphasized that her partner is like a substitute father to Maud Angelica, 20, Leah Isadora, 19, and Emma Tallulah, 15.
