Meet Lord Ivar Mountbatten, King Charles’ gay cousin who’s joining Season 3 of ‘The Traitors’
The Traitors celebrated Pride Month by announcing its Season 3 cast, which is full of gays and gay icons.Essentially a heightened version of the party game Mafia, the American spin on the series assembles a group of (mostly) reality TV veterans and cuts them loose in a Scottish castle as the Faithful among them try to suss out which fellow players are secretly Traitors before they all get picked off one-by-one.
Scheming, backstabbing, vaguely “famous” television stars—of course the queers love The Traitors! As if being hosted by the immaculately dressed and accented bisexual king Alan Cumming wasn’t enough, the next season’s LGBTQ+ contestants include Drag Race winner & Madonna pal Bob The Drag Queen, Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause, Survivor‘s Carolyn Wiger, The Bachelorette‘s Gabby Windey, and The Biggest Loser‘s Bob Harper.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Go for the gold and trust no traitor ?#TheTraitorsUS Season 3 coming soon to Peacock.

Even The Traitor‘s straight contestants are giving the gays everything the want!However, there’s one name among the cast who likely stood out to even the most fervent reality TV obsessives: Who is Lord Ivar Mountbatten?For starters, here’s a photo of him eating breakfast—a very important meal in the world of The Traitors, so he’s off to a good start!A post shared by Ivar (@ivar_mountbatten)After former Parliament member John Bercow proved to be excellent television this past season, it would seem The Traitors needed someone to fill their “older British guy with some form of political power” slot.But the 61-year-old Mountabatten is much more than some random Brit.
