00:11She is a princess.
00:12In Norway, our princess is the biggest celebrity.
00:16Princess Marta Louise is set to marry a Hollywood shaman.
00:22Marrying into the royal family, it's just very, very surreal.
00:27The royal family is very, very loved.
00:39They were like, who is this man and who is taking our princess?
00:42A lot of people expected me to be a certain way
00:46and live up to what I'm supposed to be, and I don't.
00:50When I met the queen and king, they were just staring at me.
00:53Martha didn't give me any clues on anything.
00:55She's like, well, just be yourself.

01:28The press doesn't like me.

01:36It's not easy being the first black man marrying into the European royal family, and I'm the first.
01:42Because he's a Charmaine, they say that he's dangerous for the royal family, and I'm brainwashed.
01:51He's maybe a scam artist.
01:54We have someone to do my makeup because I want my pictures to look poppy.
02:01I would like a royal wedding, because I'm going to be a royal.
02:15So we need to do the wedding at like three.
02:17But what about what the astrologer told us?
02:20Okay, why have to get new coordinates then?
