Princess Martha Louise, 52, and Durek Verrett, 49, are set to tie the knot on August 31st at the picturesque Geirangerfjord in western Norway. Despite their best efforts to maintain privacy, tidbits of information have emerged, such as the wedding's rumored mobile device restriction.
According to "Mail Online," this ban supposedly stems from special agreements with "Hello Magazine" and Netflix. The streaming giant is reportedly producing a docuseries about the couple.
An email sent to wedding guests on Tuesday requested them not to publish anything on their social media profiles, stating, "Remember that mobile phones or cameras are not permitted at all throughout the entire weekend at all events. We also ask that you refrain from posting anything on social media." The email emphasized the importance of abiding by these guidelines.
Martha Louise, eldest sibling of Crown Prince Haakon, 51, and daughter of King Harald V., 87, and Queen Sonja, 87, was previously married to author Ari Behn from 2002 to 2017. The couple has three daughters. Since 2018, Martha Louise has been in a relationship with American Durek Verrett, a shaman. They announced their engagement in 2022, and their wedding will take place in the serene town of Geiranger, Norway.
In November 2022, Martha Louise announced her resignation from official royal duties due to the need to distinguish her business activities from her royal duties. Her father, King Harald, granted her permission to retain her title as Princess.
Netflix is reportedly producing a docuseries about Martha Louise and Durek Verrett. Guests attending their Geirangerfjord wedding have been advised to refrain from using mobile phones and posting on social media during the event due to the couple's desire for privacy and to avoid leakages.
