For the first time in the history of the British monarchy, the royal family will have a gay wedding. Lord Ivar Mountbatten, first to Queen Elizabeth II, will exchange rings with director of air services James Coyle, in a private chapel in Devon, England. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in September. According to information on the Daily Mail website, Ivar is divorced and father of three children. In fact, it will be the groom's ex-wife, Penny, who will be responsible for taking Mountbatten to the altar. According to her, the idea came from the former couple's children Ella, 22, Alix, 20, and Luli, 15. “It makes me very emotional. I’m very touched,” said Penny. “Ivar is very calm now, he is much nicer. He probably didn't know that by hiding his sexuality he was tormenting himself. Now that he's come out, it's a completely different person personally. Everyone says they’ve never seen him happier,” she added.
