Princess Martha Louise of
Norway and new fiancé Shaman Durek Verrett could not look happier as
they stepped out at the launch of Derek Warburton’s new Pride makeup collection
in West Hollywood on Friday.
The happy couple looked as
glamorous as ever as they posed hand in hand at the exciting evening. Martha Louise
donned a stunning floor-length beige summer gown which she matched with stylish
tinted sunglasses and chic gold sandals.
Durek rocked a black satin
suit jacket which was adorned with elegant flower embroidery. He paired the
statement piece with a white shirt, black trousers and statement gold trainers.

The couple look sensational
“It was good times.
Tribe, being supportive to friends helps build a stronger community. What do
you think? Love you!”
Pride is an occasion that is
close to the couple’s hearts as they recently opened up about Durek’s
homosexuality on Thursday during a candid Instagram Live.
Durek said: “How does she
[Martha] feel about my homosexuality? I am who I am. She loves me for all parts
of myself.”
The pair also discussed the
trials they faced being in an interracial relationship which has resulted in
them receiving death threats.
Durek explained: “I think
a lot of our relationship and why people have such an issue with it, and why
people write all this hate and send death threats to us… is because one, they
don’t want to see a black man in the royal family because there’s never been
one in the history of histories in the European royal family so that’s a huge
thing.
“Second, Martha is a
female. It’s different when a man chooses a woman of colour because he’s a man…
but for a princess to choose a man of colour, it has never been done in history
so it’s really tough for people to handle that.”
He added: “They don’t
want the Bridgertons, they want to watch it on TV but they don’t want the real
Bridgertons, which is us, so they get very upset and angry and say really mean
things, but they don’t understand that our world can’t stay the same, we have
to evolve.”
