Lord Ivar Mountbatten<\/strong> is gaining attention after he was announced as one of the many contestants on The Traitors<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alan Cumming<\/strong> announced on the Today Show<\/em> Wednesday, June 4, that Mountbatten would be joining season 3<\/a> of the competition series alongside reality TV veterans Boston Rob Mariano<\/strong>, Danielle Reyes<\/strong>, Tom Sandoval<\/strong>, Chrishelle Stause<\/strong> and more, among a total of 21 contestants. While Mountbatten hasn\u2019t made a name for himself on TV, he has become well-known as an extended member \u2014 and the first openly gay member \u2014 of the royal family.<\/p>\n

Ivar, who was born in March 1963, is the son of David Mountbatten<\/strong>, who is the 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven, and Janet Mercedes Bryce<\/strong>. Through his father, Ivar is the grandson of Prince George of Battenberg<\/strong> and the great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria<\/strong>. Ivar\u2019s father was the cousin of Prince Philip<\/strong><\/a> who married Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong><\/a> in 1947, making Ivar the first cousin once removed of Philip, a third cousin once removed of Elizabeth and a second cousin of King Charles III<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGet ready The Traitors fans, a new group of faithfuls and traitors are walking into Alan Cumming\u2019s castle. Peacock announced on Wednesday, June 5, that the season 3 cast will include Tom Sandoval, Robyn Dixon, Dolores Catania, Wells Adams, Tony Vlachos, Carolyn Wiger, Britney Haynes and more. Rob Mariano (Boston Rob), Dorinda Medley, Chrishell Stause, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ivar has been candid about how he considered Philip to be a father figure to him after his dad died in 1970.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn later years, I would sit with him and ask endless questions about my father. It was wonderful to have someone who could tell me everything about him,\u201d he said to The Telegraph<\/em><\/a> in April 2021. \u201cPrince Philip was a wonderful listener; you could tell him anything as long as you were being honest and forthright. He was happy to listen to your thoughts. But if he had some advice he thought you ought to hear, he\u2019d give it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a member of the extended family, Ivar does not have any royal duties. He has previously worked as a geologist and businessman. Ivar is also the former director of the SCL Group, which was a strategic communication company. While Ivar is a member of the royal family, he understands why he is not involved in royal events as much as he once was a child.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe family has got very large,\u201d he told Tatler<\/em><\/a> in 2019. \u201cWhen we were younger we went to royal events all the time. But now that everyone has had children, quite rightly everything has slimmed down.\u201d<\/p>\n
