Royal Family Celebrates First Ever Lesbian Wedding!
perezhilton.comThe British royal family has officially celebrated its first lesbian wedding! Ellen Lascelles — who is the great-great-granddaughter of King George V and the niece of David Lascelles, 8th and current Earl of Harewood — married her Australian girlfriend Channtel “Chan” McPherson in a glamorous outdoor ceremony Down Under.
According to DailyMail.com on Tuesday, the wedding was held in Byron Bay Hinterland in New South Wales, Australia this week.
The couple sealed their union with a kiss in front of a homemade banner that read, “Here Come The Brides.” Cute! The couple were joined by their three kids — Ellen’s son Jack and daughter Penny from her relationship with an Australian ex-boyfriend, and Chan’s daughter Raff.
It was also a remarkably laid-back ceremony compared to the aristocrat’s parents, who married at St James’s Palace with George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, in attendance.
