Marrying into a royal family isn’t an easy transition for anyone who has grown up outside of palace walls. But controversial Hollywood shaman<\/a> Durek Verrett brought new meaning to the term “fish out of water”\u2014and made plenty of headlines<\/a>\u2014when he married Princess M\u00e4rtha Louise<\/a> of Norway in 2024. Now, the couple’s surprising romance<\/a> is coming to the small screen after Netflix released the trailer for its new documentary, Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story.<\/em><\/p>\n

Princess M\u00e4rtha Louise is the eldest child of King Harald and Queen Sonja<\/a> of Norway, and in 2022, relinquished her official duties to the crown “to create a clearer dividing line between her business activities and her role as a member of the royal family.” She confirmed her relationship with Verrett in 2019, and per Netflix, the new documentary “follows the couple as they prepare for their wedding<\/a>, seek spiritual guidance, and navigate a media storm.”<\/p>\n

“Marrying into the royal family, it’s just very, very surreal,” Verrett says in the trailer, sharing that his then-girlfriend “didn’t give me any clues on anything” before meeting her parents. “When I met the queen and king, they were just staring at me,” he says, explaining that M\u00e4rtha Louise told him, “just be yourself.”<\/p>\n
