Der Cousin der Queen hat geheiratet

Es war die erste gleichgeschlechtliche Hochzeit in einem Königshaus: Lord Ivar Mountbatten, der Cousin der englischen Queen, hat am Wochenende seinen langjährigen Lebenspartner James Coyle geheiratet.

Die Zeremonie wurde im kleinen Rahmen mit etwa 60 Gästen abgehalten. Mit von der Partie war auch Mountbattens Ex-Frau und ihre drei gemeinsamen Kinder.

Von der königlichen Familie war niemand an der Hochzeit mit dabei. Eigentlich wollte Prince Edward mit seiner Frau Sophie hingehen, doch sie mussten schlussendlich wegen einer Terminkollision trotzdem absagen.

Nach der Hochzeit gehts für die Frischvermählten nun auf Hochzeitsreise nach Griechenland und Kroatien.

Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth (whose husband Prince Philip's last name is Mountbatten) is set to marry his partner James Coyle in what will be the first gay wedding in British royal family history.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Lord Ivar opens up about struggling with his sexuality during his 16-year marriage to ex-wife, Penny, who he shares three children with. Following their divorce 8 years ago, the former couple are still friends with Penny even scheduled to give her ex-husband away when he marries James in the private chapel on his magnificent country estate in Devon. - “It makes me feel quite emotional. I'm really very touched,” Penny said of the honour. And, of course, the couple have the blessing of his entire family including lifelong friend, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex - aka Queen Elizabeth’s youngest son - and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex. - “Sophie and Edward know of our plans and are really excited for us,” says Lord Ivar, adding that sadly the royal couple will not be able to attend the wedding due to prior engagements.” - The couple will tie the knot in a small, private ceremony in front of 120 family members and close friends. #royalfamily #queenelizabeth #jamescoyle #gaywedding #lordivarmountbatten
