The Queen’s cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten made history as the first member of the royal family to have a same sex marriage. The 55-year old got married to his partner, James Coyle on Saturday, the 22nd of September 2018.

According to the Independent, the couple exchanged vows and rings in a private chapel in Bridwell Park, Uffculme, Devon in front of 60 guests including Ivar’s three daughters. 

Ivar’s ex-wife, Penny (Ivar & Penny had an amicable divorce in 2011) walked him down the aisle and gave him away to James at the ceremony.
