In a live broadcast on Instagram on Sunday where both participated, the couple talked about racism, among other things. – First, they do not want a black man in the royal family. There have never been any blacks in the history of the European royal families, so it is a very big issue, says Durek Verrett in the broadcast, according to Expressen’s minutes. – Secondly, Märtha is a woman. It is not the same when a man in the royal family chooses a colored woman. A man can choose who he wants. But that a princess or a colored man has not happened before, and it is difficult for people to handle, says Verrett. White privilege Märtha Louise acknowledges that the experiences have been an eye-opener for her. She tells that her “white privilege” has made her naive. – This is so much worse than I thought it was, she said in the broadcast. No date has yet been set for the wedding, and the couple will be living on different continents in the future. – Have patience with us. We’ll be announcing everything when the time is right. But until then, we will continue to celebrate love, the couple wrote in a press release on Tuesday. Together for three years The relationship between the princess and Durek Verrett, also known as shaman Durek, was first known in 2019. Since then, there have been storms around them at times, including when they went on a lecture tour together. After three years of occasional distance relations between Norway and Los Angeles, the couple says that they are ready to take the relationship a step further. – Love does not judge where one comes from, or who one is as a human being. Love creates a bridge between people, cultures and religions. And we are happy to have found quadrants, across continents, ethnicity and social background, the couple said in the press release.
