Queen's cousin Lord Ivar Mountbatten speaks of his decision to come out as gay after finding love

Speaking of his decision, he told the Mail on Sunday: "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.

"I am a lot happier now, though I am still not 100 per cent comfortable with being gay," he added.

I was a bit surprised how... typical his story really is, personal wealth and royal connections notwithstanding.

It's also interesting that The Telegraph didn't publish the photo of him with his boyfriend (The Mail did) only of him and his ex-wife... Make what you will of that.

Not so many years ago, this story would be splashed across the front pages of newspapers and carried in national news bulletins, but it's gone largely unnoticed. That's how it should be.

Great for him. I think a lot of young LGBT people will be pleased to see representation in every field: and now this stretches as far as royalty!
