Lord Ivar Mountbatten, son of the 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven and cousin to the Queen, is in a reflective mood. He picks up a photograph taken 24 years ago on the day of his wedding to his former wife Penny, the mother of their three daughters. 'That was the best day of my life,' he says. 'I loved it.'
Two years ago, Lord Ivar created quite a stir when he confessed to having struggled with his sexuality throughout most of that 16-year marriage. Finally, he admitted he was gay after finding contentment with his new love James Coyle, whom he met in the swish Swiss ski resort of Verbier.
Later this summer, the two men will marry in the private chapel on his magnificent country estate in Devon. It will be the first ever same-sex marriage in the extended Royal Family.
For the sake of their daughters, Ella, 22, Alix, 20, and 15-year-old Luli, Lord Ivar, Penny and James, who now considers the girls to be his children, too, want the announcement to be handled with dignity.

Yeah he struggled so much he has three children.
Queen should not allow this as head of the church of england, despige what the queer bishops running it say.
Royal title, gone. Royal holdings, gone. Church wedding, gone. Royal allowances, gone.
Sick!
There will likely be a lot of Queens attending the ceremony,but it’s doubtful Elizabeth will be one of them.
Why would this, by no means an earth-shattering event,be of ANY interest to the readers of this blog?
So if sexual orientation is inborn and immutable, how come so many gays seem to have had long-term heterosexual relationships (usually even marriages), had children, and then suddenly discovered that they’re homosexual???
That was generally the case in the pagan Roman empire.
They want there to be *no* limits on their sex lives.
Because we are sick of earth shattering events?
I doubt the Queen approves.
She is a believer from what I’ve been able to determine (only God knows the heart).
When Elizabeth goes, I fear for the royal family. She was a strong symbol for her people after he dad died and helped the nation get through tough times.
Her children and grandchildren are more interested in erasing her legacy or re-writing into a millennial or baby boomer psychology than paying tribute to her strength.

My lesbian aunt has four sons
You’re funny.
That flushing sound you hear is what became of Great Britain.
Too bad for Edward II - apparently he was born about 700 years too early.
Wrong service. Lord Louis Mountbatten served 52 years in the Royal Navy and retired with the rank of Fleet Admiral, but was never in the British Army.
Of course. That reminded me of the Terri Schiavo case. When government decides when someone is better off dead despite their parents’ objections, to hell with it. It’s evil.
Ah, Leggy - a classic bit in a fantastic comedy show. Rutles rule!

Inshallah... er, uh, wait, uh, what?
One too many queens in that family.
Yeah, can someone explain to me how a fagolo gets a chick pregnant 3 times? It’s almost like homosexuality is a mental disease.
And sorry, a 3rd cousin ain’t part of the “royal family”.
