It appears that 2018 is the year for landmark weddings for the British royal family. Following Prince Harry's marriage to Megan Markle in May, the Summer will see the first same sex marriage in the extended family, when Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II, weds James Coyle.

Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, is set to become the first royal in history to have a same-sex marriage. According to Daily Mail, Lord Ivar came out as gay two years ago. Now, the father-of-three daughters— Ella, 22, Alix, 20, and Luli, 15 — has planned to start a new life with his partner, James Coyle. Fortunately, Ivar’s ex-wife, Penny, whom he married 24 years ago, is in full support of the pair’s union. So much so, that she will be walking Lord Ivar down the aisle. "It was the girls' idea," Penny told Daily Mail. "It makes me feel quite emotional. I'm really very touched." Penny continued that since Ivar came out, he’s become a much better version of himself.
