La historia detrás de la boda gay del primo de la reina Isabel II

Lord Ivan Mountbatten, es el primo de la reina Isabel II, y recientemente anunció que se casará con James Coyle en Devon, sur de Gran Bretaña.

La boda se llevará a cabo en los próximos meses en una capilla privada en su mansión.

Esta unión será la primera boda real gay en la historia. Lord Ivar, es el primero en la monarquía en mantener una relación con otro persona del mismo sexo.

Ivar confesó haber luchado con sexualidad, pues anteriormente estuvo casado por 16 años con Penelope Thompson, con quien tuvo tres hijas.

Además, aseguró para Daily Mail que su boda será muy pequeña, para amigos y familiares más cercanos, por lo que probablemente la reina Isabel no asista al enlace nupcial.

Queen’s cousin becomes first member of royal family to come out as gay. ** * A member of the Royal Family has become the first ever to come out as #gay. * #LordIvarMountbatten, who has three children with ex-wife Penelope (Penny) Thompson, came out over the weekend saying he had struggled with his sexuality. * But now, he said he was happy to now be in a partnership with #JamesCoyle, an airline cabin services director. * The couple met while skiing in Verbier, #Switzerland. * James shouted hello to Lord Mountbatten, who is something like 700th in line to the throne, thinking he was a guide he’d been skiing with earlier. There was a mutual attraction and it all snowballed from there. * ‘Penny was aware before we got married,’ he told the Mail on Sunday. ‘I told her I was bisexual, that my attraction went both ways. She was understanding and I will always be grateful to her. * ‘”Coming out” is such a funny phrase but it’s what I suppose I did in a rather roundabout way, emerging to a place I’m happy to be. I have struggled with my sexuality and in some ways I still do; it has been a real journey to reach this point.’ * He added: ‘Being a Mountbatten was never the problem. It was the generation into which I was born. When I was growing up, it was known as “the love that dare not speak its name”, but what’s amazing now is how far we have all come in terms of acceptance.’ * #phcity #phcitytraffic #portharcourt #lagos #abuja #africa #blogger #wesafrica #africa #riversstate #nigeria #regrann
