Princess Märtha Louise and husband Durek Verrett shut down ‘lavender marriage' claims in an Instagram video. The Princess of Norway took to Instagram to address the rumours that their marriage is a so-called ‘lavender marriage’. A lavender marriage is a historical term for an arrangement where one or both partners’ queer identity is hidden. The video includes on-screen text: “We do like lavender but doesn’t seem right… Ordinary isn’t our thing. We just love... Thought it was lavender?” with the caption reading: "Thought it was lavender? Plot twist. It's just love and legacy" In their recent Netflix documentary Rebel Royals, Princess Märtha Louise initially introduced him to her three daughters as her "gay best friend" to ease the introduction. However, the couple has made it clear that their love is real. #LGBTQNews #LavenderMarriage #Princess #Norway
