Shock as royal family member is added to the Traitors cast
Princess Märtha Louise's daughter has revealed she will be making her TV debut later this year while appearing on a reality game show.
Leah Isadora Behn, 20, the granddaughter of the King and Queen of Norway, has announced that she will be featuring on Forræder, the Norwegian version of The Traitors, which is set to air this autumn.
The 20-year-old, who is sixth in line to the Norwegian throne, shared the update to her Instagram account on Tuesday, where she looked glamorous in a brown jacket.
The daughter of Märtha Louise, who has recently become a controversial royal figure due to her marriage to the contentious shaman Durek Verrett, looked effortlessly chic in the promotional post.
Pictured at the 15th-century Hvedholm Castle on the island of Funen in Denmark, the youngster looked TV-ready with a mane of bouncy curls, full makeup and a stylish ensemble that included a grey sweater and brown fitted jeans.
Writing beneath the glamorous photograph, the young royal shared the news that she would be appearing in the fifth season of the TV series, which will air on the Norwegian channel, TV2norge.
Continuing, she wrote: 'Mindset: gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. See you in the fall, this is going to be sick.'
A master of social media, Leah has already attracted a loyal fan base, with 147,00 followers on Instagram, and more on TikTok where she posts 'get ready with me' makeup videos.
An accomplished makeup artist, Leah even made up her mother's face for her wedding to shaman Durek last August.
Leah, who doesn't hold an official royal title despite being in line for the throne, is the daughter of Märtha Louise and her late former husband, Ari Behn.
The eldest of three, Leah also has two sisters, Maud Angelica, 22, and Emma Tallulah, 16.
Princess Märtha Louise and Behn divorced in 2017, with Behn tragically passing away by suicide two years later in 2019.
Martha has never made any attempts to restrict her daughters from pursuing their dreams, despite their royal status.
'I think it's so important in life to help unravel who they actually are, instead of having an idea of how they're supposed to be,' she told Town & Countr y in 2023.
'It's like opening a flower petal by petal. It's such a beautiful thing to be part of, to support their true selves coming out into the world and making their own way in it.'
The Traitors, which requires it's contestants to harness their powers social deduction, deception, and strategic gameplay to win, first appeared in The Netherlands in 2021, and has since become a world-wide success.

The show, which gripped Dutch audiences, was then formatted for people in nations across the world, including the US and highly popular UK version made by the BBC and hosted by Claudia Winkleman.
Leah isn't the first royal to have found herself on the hit psychological reality show.
Lord Ivar Mountbatten, who is a distant relative of King Charles, shook the world last year when he signed up to the US version of the show, ultimately going on to win with his impressive skill and cunning.
'I'm used to talking to a lot of strangers. And having my last name, you do have to be on your best behaviour all the time because people always remember meeting you,' he told Town & Country.
'So, in that sense, I was very comfortable meeting other people and being nice.'
The news arrives just days after further details emerged of a new documentary set to hit Netflix that follows the love story between Princess Martha Louise, and American conspiracy theorist Durek Verrett.
An insider told the Danish media outlet, Billed Bladet: 'The project is still untitled and will premiere in 2025.'
Netflix reportedly said that the 'untitled documentary is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples and explores their love story from the early days to the present day and how they navigate their new life surrounded by constant attention from the public.'
