Our take
Rebel Royals is a relationship documentary about Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett as they face media storms and family tension. Mature talk about love, spirituality, and racist or hostile public commentary matters more than graphic content. Swearing is limited, and there is no action violence. We land at 13 and up because the discrimination themes and adult relationship focus suit teens more than younger kids
Uplifting themes
Choosing love across culture and class, and standing together under criticism, come through as the core values. The film argues for dignity over gossip The couple model persistence and mutual support, while also showing how fame can distort priorities. Viewers can debate how open they should be It offers a window into European royalty, media power, and interracial relationships under a spotlight. Context is personal rather than academic
Story (may spoil tone)
This exclusive documentary goes behind the scenes with Märtha Louise and Shaman Durek Verrett in the lead-up to their divisive wedding in Norway.
