While the Vanity Fair article provided a continuation of fabricated and cringeworthy details into the lovebird's saga, Märtha Louise's Instagram not only informs us the article was done over a years time period and that she is a different person now.
Märtha Louise: "The main and first interview was done pre COVID-19, pre physical distancing, pre our loooong 6 months apart,
pre my anti-racism awakening(I am always learning and continuing to grow into that role); and the world was a totally different place. And so were we. Some times it takes these moments to acknowledge the growth and steps taken. We have evolved. There are things I say in this article that I would never say today. Things that make me cringe from the perspective I see the world anno November 2020."
In reference to the VF article MF discussed the racism in Norway and how that kept Durek from moving there. "Before I met him", Märtha says, "I never thought that there was racism in Norway, because we’re all an open, happy family. But basically, there are not that many people of color in Norway, so it was all a surprise to me."
The VF article goes on to say, "The vitriol kept Durek from considering a move to Norway, which would have been a solution to the long distances and time apart. Her three daughters, several homes, and official duties were there. But they couldn’t live in a country where he couldn’t walk down the street without facing some sort of scorn.
It was a constant pain and something they mostly discussed in private, until George Floyd was killed earlier this year."
Märtha Louise's Instagram: "Being @shamandurek ’s girlfriend has given me a crash course in how white supremacy is at play and the way I have consciously and subconsciously thought of and acted towards Black people. How I have taken my rights for granted—never looked properly at what racism really is, because it has been comfortable for me that the system is in place." Durek replies, “I just feel really proud of my woman."
