 The couple look sensational 

"It was good times. Tribe, being supportive to friends helps build a stronger community. What do you think? Love you!"

Pride is an occasion which is close to the couple's hearts as they recently opened up about Durek's homosexuality on Thursday during a candid Instagram Live.

Durek said: "How does she [Martha] feel about my homosexuality? I am who I am.

She loves me for all parts of myself."

Martha is fourth in line to the Norwegian throne

The pair also discussed the trials they faced being in an interracial relationship which has resulted in them receiving death threats.

Durek explained: "I think a lot of our relationship and why people have such an issue with it, and why people write all this hate and send death threats to us… is because: one, they don't want to see a black man in the royal family because there's never been one in the history of histories in the European royal family so that's a huge thing.

"Second, Martha is a female. It's different when a man chooses a woman of colour because he's a man… but for a princess to choose a man of colour, it has never been done in history so it's really tough for people to handle that."

He added: "They don't want the Bridgertons, they want to watch it on TV but they don't want the real Bridgertons, which is us, so they get very upset and angry and say really mean things, but they don't understand that our world can't stay the same, we have to evolve."
