Netflix drops trailer for Princess Märtha Louise documentairy

Netflix has released the trailer for the new feature documentary from Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her husband, Durek Verrett.

The documentary is called Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story, and it will offer viewers an intimate look at the controversial love story between Märtha Louise, the eldest child of King Harald V, and Hollywood’s self-proclaimed spiritual guru, Durek. It follows the couple as they prepare for their wedding, seek spiritual guidance, and navigate a media storm.

Director Rebecca Chaiklin said, “When I saw the Vanity Fair article about a princess and a shaman falling in love, it instantly caught my eye. Märtha Louise and Shaman Durek were two completely unexpected, wild, and charismatic characters from totally different worlds, navigating a swirl of controversy and fighting for love. It was a great fish-out-of-water story – and they were so funny. So I just had to convince them (and the spirits) that I was “lit” enough to be the one to tell their story.”

The documentary will be released globally on Netflix on September 16.
