Mountbatten publicly came out in September of 2016, telling the Daily Mail that it wasn’t his royal lineage that kept him in the closet, but rather the era to which he was born.
“Being a Mountbatten was never the problem, it was the generation into which I was born,” he explained. “When I was growing up, it was known as ‘the love that dare not speak its name.’” (In the early 1950s, men in Great Britain were regularly arrested for violating the laws against homosexual activity, including a number of high-profile people such as famed scientist Alan Turing. “Homosexual offenses” were decriminalized in 1967.)
The Queen has previously expressed her support for the LGBTQ community, though her statements haven’t gone in depth with regard to policy.
Congratulations to Ivar and his groom-to-be! This is clearly an important and long overdue milestone for the royal family.
