Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her fiancé Durek Verrett are set to marry on August 31, 2024, in Geiranger, but not without some notable absences.

Swedish King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia will miss the wedding due to a prior commitment at an event in Sweden.

Additionally, Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow, a close friend of Verrett, will also be unable to attend as her son is starting college that weekend.

Despite these setbacks, Verrett expressed that their love is strong enough to proceed with the wedding plans, even as he awaits a kidney transplant.

The couple was recently spotted enjoying a day out on a cabin cruiser in Oslo, surrounded by friends and a film crew, hinting at the high-profile nature of their upcoming nuptials.

As the wedding date approaches, excitement continues to build, with many speculating about the guest list and the couple's plans for the celebration.
