Granddaughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja Steps into the Limelight: Leah Behn Joins "The Traitors"
Leah, daughter, takes part in the deceitful reality TV show, 'The Traitor' - Leah, the daughter, participates in the television game show titled "The Traitors"
Get ready for some royal drama! Leah Isadora Behn, the 20-year-old daughter of Princess Martha Louise, is making waves in the Norwegian entertainment scene. After the scandals that rocked her aunt Mette-Marit's family, Leah is ready to shine in a whole new light—on the small screen. The budding influencer will be starring in the Norwegian adaptation of the popular show "The Traitors," a reality competition where celebrities gather in a castle to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other.
Prepare for a Wild Ride
In an Instagram post, Leah announces her participation in the fifth season of "Forræder" with unbridled enthusiasm. "See you in the fall, it's going to be wild." Accompanying her post is a bold portrait shot, her loose hair framing a serious gaze against an impressive castle backdrop. She's also shared a group photo with the other contestants, declaring her mindset as "gaslight, gatekeeper, girlboss."
TV 2, the Norwegian television network, has confirmed Leah's involvement in the upcoming season. Appearing on the show for the first time, Leah will face challenges like never before as she vies for the grand prize. "I've decided to try something completely new. I don't know what to expect. I’m doing this to challenge myself, and I’ve seen the other seasons," she says.
The show, which has already garnered excitement in Germany on RTL, pits celebrities against each other in a high-stakes game of deception and betrayal. There are traitors among the stars, chosen in secret and tasked with eliminating other players to claim the treasure. Meanwhile, the remaining contestants attempt to unmask the traitors while dealing with the unpredictable twists that each season delivers.
Facing Adversity Head-On
Leah has faced adversity in her young life. She is the middle daughter of Princess Martha Louise and her late ex-husband Ari Behn, who tragically took his own life on December 25, 2019. Martha Louise, the sister of Crown Prince Haakon, married American shaman Durek Verrett in 2024, causing quite a stir in Norway. In response to the pressure, she decided to step away from her official royal duties in November 2022.
Recent headlines have been less than positive for the royal family, with Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship, making several appearances in the wrong column. He was arrested following violent incidents in his ex-girlfriend's apartment, and further allegations of violence and substance abuse soon followed.
As Leah steps into the spotlight, King Harald V and Queen Sonja remain silent on the matter. The royal couple, known for their support of modernization and diverse familial pursuits, have yet to publicly comment on Leah's television debut. Their focus is on art and culture rather than family members' reality TV appearances.
Stay tuned for Leah's journey on "The Traitors" when the new season airs this fall!
