Medically speaking, I don't know how serious this is? But the Princess has come to rely heavily on him as a couple, and so hope things work out for them.

It's difficult to assess what is reality and what is fabrication with Durek. If Durek needs a life saving kidney transplant I hope he finds a suitable donor.

Yet, I'm not surprised to hear that A-list actress, musician and producer Kat Graham apparently is no longer donating a kidney to Durek. I questioned the validity of the original story. Voluntarily losing a kidney, undergoing a risky major surgery seems alot to ask.

While Kat Graham is involved with spiritual healing and has formed her own "lifehacking" group called Modern Nirvana, again I question how well she and Durek were acquainted. She runs in a much different circle than Durek, i.e. Quincy Jones, Depak Chopra, etc. etc.

Durek being American, could he get a transplant anywhere in the World? I dont know how that works for anyone that needs a transplant. Whatever his medical issue is, I hope he gets well. I dont like seeing anyone ill.

Theoretically yes, Durek could be worked up for transplant anywhere that accepts him. In 2012 he received a kidney from his sister. A living kidney donor transplant last 15 to 20 years on average so it's unfortunate to hear that he may now need another transplant. Typically the nephrologist overseeing his care will refer him to a transplant program. Whether he will use the same group as before is unknown. It may be he is on a donor transplant list to receive a deceased donor kidney if a live donor is not found. We really don't know what his status or condition is currently. I was surprised to see him traveling to NYC recently. Dialysis requirements preclude much travel which he would be receiving while waiting for transplant. We don't really have a lot of information on his condition relying on magazine articles.

Durek's big secret - married for four years
Now the princess's boyfriend admits that he has been married before.
Dureks store hemmelighet - gift i fire år

Svensk Damtidning quotes the article
As a 30-year-old, Durek met the then 21-year-old Czech woman Zaneta Marszalkova through mutual friends and of course it clicked.
In 2005, they said "yes" to each other in Los Angeles and were married for four years before everything took a terrible turn.
In retrospect, Durek talks about marriage in a bitter tone:
- Yes, that's right, I was married to Zaneta - but she took advantage of me, he recently told the German newspaper Bild, according to Norwegian Se och Hör.
- I realized that Zaneta just wanted a Green Card, so she could stay in the US. Then I got so angry that I informed the authorities about it.

Thank you for sharing this. I remember it was reported before that Durek Verrett had an ex-wife, but I couldn't recall seeing her name or details.

Could anyone share the link to the interview from Bild? I wonder what motivated Durek to speak out about his previous marriage at this time.

Obviously.

I was initially very supportive of a union of these two as Durek is very much eccentric as the Princess. However as time passes by the skeletons keep making their way out of his closet. Not good in my opinion

This is EXACTLY the sort of thing he needs to be avoiding from this point on. It is unseemly for the Norwegian king's future son-in-law to go crowing on social media in this manner.

And TBH I blame ML for not putting her foot down. I know he would cool it if she asked him to.

Shut. Up. Dude.

Why? If a girl marries a Prince, she is called a Princess. So, in our liberal times: If a boy marries a Princess, he is called a Prince, right?

And our Shaman is soon a Prince of Norway. This is something to write home about, something to brag.

He is becoming a member of a royal family. Yes that is a milestone for the NRF, for sure. He isn't becoming a Prince, that's just a fact, if he was marrying Haakon, maybe he would.

I personally dislike the fact that they seem focused on Bridgerton (they've mentioned it several times) which in itself is an extremely lightweight, fluffy book series and the TV show made it even more so. In real life Queen Charlotte's husband was as related to her black relative as she was via his mother. It just makes him seem silly in what is actually something noteworthy IMHO.

I always open this thread with some trepidation!

Durek, press your lips together, firmly. And only open them when you eat, drink or snore.

Considering that he has before felt the wrath of the Norwegian press and public, hasn't he learned anything?!?
Going on like that in Norway of all places. In the country of the Law of Jante is not the brightest thing to do.

The Law of Jante: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

Durek, follow the Law of Jante or fail.

Not quite so special though, he clearly hasn't done his research or maybe he'd know Princess Angela was first person of primarily African descent to marry into a reigning European dynasty. And all without being a conman.

This shows he sees marrying ML as a great PR move, let's hope its more than just that
