Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin revealed that the royal family members do not communicate very well.

The Queen’s cousin Lord Ivar Mountbatten shared a shocking fact about the members of the Firm. Although they have many protocols to follow, it turns out that they have poor communication within the household.

Ivar is the first member of the Firm to have had a same-sex royal wedding. He married his husband James Coyle in 2018. He said that the royals don’t talk about one’s sexual orientation.

“They don’t really talk about it” Ivar told Tatler.

“I mean, the royals, they don’t communicate very well,” he added.

In June, Prince William visited an LGBTQ charity in London. During his visit, he was asked about the possibility of having a gay child and the duke said it’s fine with him.

“Do you know what, I've been giving that some thought recently because a couple of other parents said that to me as well,” he said. “I think, you really don't start thinking about that until you are a parent, and I think - obviously absolutely fine by me.”

Prince William added that the thing he worried about is how the people will interpret and see his children in the roles that they will fill in. He admitted that he and his wife, Kate Middleton, has been talking a lot about it to make sure that the kids are prepared.

As a parent, Prince William confessed that he is worried about the “hateful words, persecution” and discrimination that might come if one of his kids were gay.

“It worries me not because of them being gay; it worries me as to how everyone else will react and perceive it and then the pressure is then on them,” Prince William added.

In related news, Prince William once described Prince George “a little bit of a rascal.” According to the royal father of three, his eldest son reminded him of his brother Prince Harry and him he was younger. He wriggled around a lot and didn’t want to got to sleep that much which he considered a “little bit of a problem.”
