Also from the above article, "But he has also come closer to his new parents-in-law, the Norwegian royal couple. In his podcast where Märtha Louise was a guest last week, he told about how he and Harald are equal. Your parents are amazing! says Durek in the podcast."
So sham Durek is now referring to the King and Queen of Norway as his parents-in-law?  and that he and King Harold "are equal"?   I guess sham and ML are as good as married and he fancies himself as the next King of Norway being equal to Harold and all.

"Durek was our first guest on kjærlighetsmønster podcast. I met a completely different man than the one the media describes. The 140 Tara weekend participants met a humble, worldly, funny, unpretentious, wise, kind, caring, warm-hearted and really nice man who loves his woman dearly, who makes her feel safe and shining. It was easy to see"

I assume it is the article's writer who referred to the King and Queen as Mr. Verrett's parents-in-law, since it is not a quote.
Isn't the meaning of "lika varandra" more in the vein of "similar to one another" than "equal"?

That's correct.
I also notice that Durek used the expression "bonus children" when he talked about what they were to him.
That's an expression usually used by someone who has married or is in a marriage-like relationship with someone who has children, but hasn't formally adopted the children - yet.
That means Durek says he consider ML's children to be his own in anything but name, even though he hasn't adopted them. Both in relation to how he feels responsible for them, how he will approach their upbringing and especially how he view his personal relationship with the children. I.e. very close.
It would normally also imply that they consider him to be their "bonus dad" which means their dad in anything but name, though not a formal stepdad. Alternatively that they consider him to be an extra dad whom they are very fond of, just as fond of (or more) as their (living) biological father.
But over the top expressions are, as we all know, not unknown to Durek...
This is the cold/less passionate Scandinavia/Norway - where you don't throw big words like "bonus dad" around without really meaning it.

To be fair, with reading the other descriptions of how Durek finds King Harald's humor similar to his own and gets along well with the man, "equal" comes across more as "kindred souls" or "birds of a feather" than equal status.
If Durek and Martha Louise are to marry, its far better that Durek does get along with his in-laws rather than not. What we think of him doesn't really matter. It says something for the royal couple that they're able to get along with the man. That's class.

Harald and Sonja have decades of diplomatic patience, though. What are they going to do, openly disdain the man, drive their daughter away, and end up as Twitter fodder: "the King and Queen of Norway hate me because they're racists?"
It also bears noting:
-Verrett is a pathological liar. Everything he says is up for a shaker or two of salt.
-Harald has had slightly bigger things to focus on lately. Like being severely ill, and avoiding stress.

 It is of course also how you wish to perceive it.
It is in Durek's interest (and no doubt dear wish) to have a good relationship with the Regent Couple and not least to give the impression of having a good relationship with them. And perhaps he even believe he has.
Getting along well = The Regent Couple were friendly, attentive and polite hosts who made their guest relax.
Having the same humor = Laughing at the amusing stories and remarks Durek told, and being witty in return. Routine for a senior royal.
And even if their meeting was a disaster and the atmosphere was ice cold, Durek would be most unlikely to say so. That would not be in his interests.
- So we simply don't know how well they really get along. and what the Regent Couple really think about Durek.

Basic problem: why is Durek talking about his relationship with the king and queen of Norway at all? Apparently, Märtha Louise is fine with him doing so or she would have stopped him from even starting.

Why dod you think he's talking about it? Because he's a self publicist. He does this kind of thing...

Og ikke et sæde var tørt...
Yeah, well, Bjørg Thorhallsdottir (Icelandic) seems like the sort of person who would indeed be charmed by Durek. And who does follow the same outlook on life, i.e. love, light and understanding - for this is the Age of Aquarious...         - Sorry, relapsed to 68.

Sham Durek a master charlatan perfecting his game over decades. It appears he's found his home in Norway with Martha Louise and her family. Thank you to Tatiana Maria and Muhler for clarifying and translating the Svensk Dam article.

How much was he paid to say that ?

Fetch your tissues and cuddle up, because you're gonna love what comes next!
https://www.bt.dk/royale/durek-verre...uise-ultimatum
A little excerpt from the Tara Award presentation, where ML and Durek were present BTW. And according to this article both of them talked about their relationship.
Durek told that he gave ML an ultimatum before they began going steady.
"I told Märtha that I cannot go into this relationship before I have met her children, before I understand her children and get along with them. Because I believe that when a man starts a relationship with a woman who already has children, you have to be dedicated. You must be there, not only for her, but also for the children."
ML responded that if her children did not understand Durek Verrett, they could not enter a relationship. (She and Durek.) So they came up with the solution that Märtha Louise should bring take her children with her to Los Angeles and meet Durek Verrett's family.
And here Durek fell for ML.
"I looked at this wonderful woman and the way she loves her children, and in that moment I knew that I could love this woman. Because she is a woman who loves her children, loves her (Norwegian) society. And when she loves everybody in her society, I know she can love me."
During Durek's speech, he praised ML for being a woman who always stands up for herself, who knows who she is and who does not trouble herself with what other people think of her.
"Every day, if we pray, laugh and are just childish and play video games, or spend time with the children and eat dinner and let the girls share all the wisdom and love with us (sitting) around the table, she knows who she is. And she stands by that no matter what and to me that means everything.
It's lovely to love you."

I honestly feel like I need to get a cavity fixed every time I read something the Shaman says. It’s so disgustingly schmaltzy and saccharine.

You just had to inflict it on the rest of us after inflicting it on yourself, huh, M?
Actually, if it were only taken out of context and divorced from everything else we know about him... it would be almost nice.
Pity about the source (and possibly the recepient).
