Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story - Netflix 2025

[LadyFinn]

The documentary looks at Durek's health condition, especially his need for a kidney transplant and dialysis treatment.

Durek underwent a kidney transplant in 2012. Now he receives dialysis treatment at Drammen Hospital. He says at the film: "Getting dialysis is like a prison sentence for me. Three times a week I sit in a chair for four hours. I have no choice but to sit there or I will die. I could easily have a heart attack, and I already feel pain in my arm and chest. I have to get another kidney transplant, and the sooner the better".
ML says: "He's so much weaker than before, but it takes ten years before you get a kidney on that list. I've been tested, but I wasn't a match. So we need a living donor. I just pray that he gets one in time. They say you can have dialysis for five to ten years before you die. Before your heart fails".
Jon Anker Lisberg Sarpebakken of the National Association for Kidney Patients and Transplanters says that ML's claims are not true. Many people on dialysis don't have the opportunity to be transplanted, for health reasons. They have to be on dialysis for the rest of their lives, but it is entirely possible to live longer than ten years on dialysis. The average waiting time for those who received a kidney transplant in Norway in 2024 was about two years. It is serious and deeply problematic that misinformation of this type is emerging, it can create great fear among people with kidney disease and their relatives.
Durek is not listed in the Norwegian population register.

Didn't he state very clearly that people are ill because they deep down want to be ill? Well, karma has a habit of turning up and take a big chunk of your behind. Yet, do I detect a hint of humility? A whiff of self-reflection? Perhap a little gratitude then that all he has to do to stay alive is sacrificing some twelve hours of his life every week. And it's not like he has a work-schedule he has to adhere to.
It is perfectly human to hope for a donor kidney, preferably tomorrow. But considering that the kidney he may come from someone who has died, he might spare a thought for that person or at least the relatives. He sure doesn't hold back when he feel slighted...

I was a little skeptical of his heart attack risk and the claims that he already has pains in his arms and chest. If he's already having chest pain, he's having different problems.

I don't want to add an insult to injury, but one gets very much the impression, there is a gap, a divide between his profession as a self declared healer and his private life.

Ok, that's the case for many! Very often is a job only a job and not a life filling calling...

But his profession is it to exploit the insecurities and the fears of people. And he claims, he can make all the bad stuff go away! What a sham-man, the Shaman!

But evil minded as I am myself, I would still laugh, if destiny makes him the future King of Norway...

I just started watching and I'm halfway through - need to take a break before I can stomach the rest.
My impression is that he is con man, having found the perfect match in the princess to air his 'virtues' on a platform as global as possible.
Man, he's full of it, really. There are moments that make me cringe, eg when he talks about his life in ancient Egypt or they let the energies flow to determine the date of the wedding - but it always shines through how much all of this is about HIM becoming a royal. Thats all he's after, because of the package that comes with it, you have access to a wide public, media, can pull the race card whenever you want ... it's heaven for him.
I feel sorry for the King and Queen really, he seems to be mocking them constantly ... I felt reminded of Meghan when she ridiculed HM with the bow practice.
And the same about manners, why do you not prepare your spouse with regard how to address people or how to conduct yourself - but no, it makes such an entertaining (paid) story on Netflix when you present yourself as the unwanted outsider who can point out how weird the royals are.
OK Part 2 is waiting.

Just terrible. To mention the 'example' of Meghan & Harry in their fight against racism, we all know what came out of Meghans accusations, only hot air. The Shaman is a sharlatan and pure overinflated ego, wants to force his way into the RF. ML is just crazy. And of course everything is always the fault of the press.
But worst of all is the instrumentalisation of Ari and his sad path. They should be ashamed of themselves for selling him out to the very media (in this case Netflix and Hello) they critizise and blame so relentlessly.
