There will not be an official representative from the Danish royal house at the wedding, says the royal house's communication department to Billed-Bladet.

The wedding between Princess Märtha Louise, number four in the Norwegian line of succession, and American Durek Verrett on Saturday is a private event and no guest list has been made public.

The Norwegian court has stated that the royal family will attend. There is no information about who will come from Sweden, but according to the Swedish royal house's calendar, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia have other commitments that day.

Not even the Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son Marius Borg Høiby will be present in Geiranger, reports NRK.

Marius Borg Høiby is currently being investigated for several crimes, including assault against his girlfriend and is also suspected of threatening a woman and theft. The decision that Marius Borg Høiby will not attend was reportedly made some time ago, before the assault became known.

According to information to NRK, the British celebrity magazine Hello Magazine has acquired the image rights from the wedding. The TV rights are linked to the streaming giant Netflix.
