The Netflix documentary Rebel Royals offers an intimate look at the unlikely romance between Märtha Louise, daughter of the King of Norway, and Shaman Durek Verrett, a mystic from California. The spiritual couple navigates issues of class, race, and national identity as they prepare for a royal wedding among the Scandinavian fjords. They address critics in the press and the public who view their union as an oddity, and reveal what life looks like for two unconventional soulmates.

In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews Märtha Louise and Shaman Durek Verrett.
