In a solid interview with Vanity Fair, Princess Märtha Louise (49) and her boyfriend Durek Verrett (45) appear. There, the couple talk about the relationship, including the type of reactions they had to the relationship and what it was like to be away from each other during the confinement.
Reveals the ultimatum he gave to Märtha
Towards the end of the interview, however, there is a completely unexpected reveal from Verrett.
He says he had made plans to propose to Märtha Louise during a trip to Hawaii in February this year, but due to Ari Behn’s sudden death on Christmas Eve, the Hawaii vacation was instead a time of pain and healing.

Own designed ring
Verrett says that he had asked King Harald (83) and Queen Sonja (83) for their blessing on the marriage last Christmas, and they gave it to him. However, they must have asked you what kind of plans you have for your future career.
The interview was conducted this summer and it is unclear if a proposal has been made in the lead-up to publication.
– You receive messages that “black and white do not go hand in hand”
It also appears that Verrett has designed a separate engagement ring for the princess that he has shown to the Vanity Fair reporter. However, the engagement ring will not be described as it will still be a surprise for Märtha Louise when the time comes. However, the journalist believes that the ring is suitable for a princess.
I was worried about the daughter
In the interview, Princess Märtha also mentions that before her relationship with Verrett, Queen Sonja was concerned about Märtha’s single life.
– Three years had passed and she hadn’t had a boyfriend. When I told him I had a boyfriend and he asked me who I was …, he says and continues:
– I don’t know if I can say that much about it, to be honest. It is very complex. Here in the United States, people are more open to it. In Norway, it’s very, very, extremely controversial. It should be with a CEO or a gentleman of some sort. Being with a shaman is very out of the ordinary. It is wild.

They say that Durek’s immediate family hugged Märtha right away, while the royal couple took longer to do the same with Verrett.
Märtha Louise’s manager, Carina Scheele Carlsen, has so far not responded to Dagbladet’s questions. Dagbladet has reached out to the Royal Court’s communications chief, Guri Ofstad Varpe, who has yet to comment.
Ga Märtha Ultimatum
The news of Verrett’s courtship plans comes shortly after he opened up about his relationship with the princess. He did it on “Love Pattern” his podcast live during Tara-Weekend at Vestlia Resort in Geilo.
Verrett revealed that he and Märtha Louise initially spoke for several hours on the phone, something that pointed out that he himself is not a huge fan. As they spent more time together and spoke more frequently on the phone, Verrett explained that he was giving the princess an ultimatum.
– I have embarrassed him
– I told Märtha that I cannot enter into this relationship until I meet her children, until I understand her children and get along with them. Because I think that when a man enters a relationship with a woman who has already had children, then you have to commit. You have to be there, not only for her, but also for the children, she said.
To this, Märtha, who was sitting in the hallway, replied that if her children did not understand Verrett, they would not be able to enter into a relationship. Thus, they came to the solution that Märtha Louise should take her children to Los Angeles and meet Verrett’s family.
And that’s when Verrett admitted that he fell in love with the princess.
Touching tribute to the bride
– I looked at this wonderful woman and the way she loves her children, and in that moment I knew that I could love this woman. Because a woman who loves her children loves her community. And when he loves everyone in his community, I know he can love me, he continued.
