"Girl, I don't know if you know but you are in a lavender marriage," one message said.
"This is the greatest lavender marriage of all time," read another.
Märtha Louise tugged his lavender t-shirt and shook her head, while Durek mirrored her gesture.
They returned in new outfits, with Princess Märtha Louise smiling and giving a thumbs-up.
"Ordinary isn't our thing. We just love," read another text bubble from Princess Märtha Louise's direction.
"Thought it was lavender? Plot twist. It’s just love and legacy," they captioned the video
The Norwegian princess married the spiritual guru in a three-day wedding in Norway in August 2024.
In the Rebel Royals documentary, Durek revealed he is bisexual, while Märtha Louise shared she first introduced him to her daughters — Maud, Leah, and Emma — as a friend they assumed was gay.
Durek now affectionately calls himself their “bonus dad.”
