Lord Ivar Mountbatten joins American reality show The Traitors in a bold new move.
King Charles III has received unexpected news from the United States as a close family member, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, takes a significant step into the world of reality television.
The 56-year-old royal, a second cousin of the King and first cousin once removed of the late Prince Philip, has been announced as a contestant on the U.S. version of the hit reality show The Traitors. He will join a lineup of American celebrities, including Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause.
Lord Ivar, the son of David Mountbatten, 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven, is well-connected within the royal family. He shares a close bond with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, who are godparents to his daughters Ella, Alix, and Luli.
A father of three, Ivar made headlines in 2016 when he became the first openly gay member of the extended royal family, five years after his divorce from Penelope Thompson, the mother of his daughters.
This bold move into reality TV marks a new chapter for Ivar, blending his traditional royal ties with a venture into popular culture. His participation in The Traitors is sure to bring both intrigue and visibility to his story.
