#10 - Lord Ivar Mountbatten: I just buried it.
Listen now
Description
Fix up, look sharp listeners, we have (extended) royalty in the house! 👑  This week we are joined by the charming and wonderfully candid Lord Ivar Mountbatten, first cousin once removed to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and third cousin one removed to Her Majesty The Queen. 💂🏻‍♂️ As the only openly-gay member of the extended royal family, Ivar shares an entirely unique perspective on what it is like to be gay in 21st century Britain. From Gordonstoun (posh!) to Bridwell Park (his country estate), Ivar talks to us about his experience of being gay in the aristocracy, the role his former wife played in helping him to live his truth and the advice he has for people of his generation struggling with their own sexuality. 🏳️‍🌈 What a guy, and what a privilege to spend some time with him. Thank you Ivar! ✨ The One That Got A Gay explores the lives of gay, lesbian and other LGBTQ+ people who spent many years living straight lives all the while knowing that’s not necessarily who they truly were. A resource for anyone struggling with their own sexuality or the sexuality of a friend or family member and a guide for allies looking to support people in the process of coming out.
