All stereotypes have some truth in them:
As the first member of the Royal Family to marry someone of the same sex, it is perhaps fortuitous that Lord Ivar Mountbatten likes to shock.
The 56-year-old cousin of the Queen is preparing to celebrate his first wedding anniversary with James Coyle, who works as senior cabin crew for an airline.
Also “member of the Royal family” is doing some work there. Pretty extended family….
Two stereotypes in one!
That was the one I was thinking of…..
Ah, I thought you were making a point about minor royals 🙂
Surely, “Royal Family” is Monarch plus Monarch’s children.
Lord Ivar Mountbatten likes to shock.
What’s a batten?
Bloke in Wales, he should of course, be working for Monarch Airlines…
Pity they’ve gone.
‘doing some work there’
But it’s GOOD work to the Telegraph.
“Surely, “Royal Family” is Monarch plus Monarch’s children.”
It depends.. Usually the distinction is made between “Royal House” ( = monarch + children + backup pretenders to the throne) and “Royal Family” ( which includes grandparents, uncles , aunts, nephews and nieces, but generally *not* cousins.)
The UK being what it is, the distinction is probably a lot fuzzier than on the Mainland.
Same sex marriage is evil & wrong – civil partnerships addressed & solved the issue.
LGBT+ forcing others to – dislike them
His ‘cousin’ Mountbatten of Burma (uncle of Prince Philip) was known as Mountbottom.
