The royal family just announced its first gay royal wedding
Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Queen Elizabeth's cousin, announced that he
will marry his partner James Coyle this summer, marking the first
same-sex wedding in the extended royal family.
This is not Mountbatten's first marriage, however. He and his ex-wife
Penny were married for 16 years and have three daughters. On their
wedding day, she wore an heirloom tiara and the celebrations were
attended by Princess Margaret and Prince Edward. Then, eight years
ago, he confessed to struggling with his sexuality throughout their
marriage and the couple divorced.
"I was never unhappy in our marriage," he told The Daily Mail. "I adored
Penny — really loved her. But I always describe it as trying to get a
square peg into a round hole."
This summer, his ex-wife will walk him down the aisle and give him
away at the altar.
