Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett Set Interview Limits on TV2 as Verrett Denies Assault Claim

The tightly managed TV appearance highlights mounting public pressure over her royal title.

Overview

  • The couple granted a rare sit-down to Denmark’s TV2 under conditions that barred questions about Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s illness, Marius Borg Høiby’s case, and what the palace thinks of them.
  • Verrett categorically denied a 2024 allegation that he raped a man during a session, stating he has never committed sexual assault.
  • He also rejected claims that his medallions cure Covid or cancer, saying he never made such promises and was speaking about personal experiences.
  • Coverage of the interview cited polling showing roughly eight in ten Norwegians support removing Märtha Louise’s princess title, which she said she will not give up.
  • They said their relationship with the royal family is good, confirmed their 2024 wedding bills have been paid, and declined comment on Marius Borg Høiby’s court proceedings expected to begin in February.
