Royal Family Member Is Secretly Gay

[Naughty Gossip] Insiders tell Straight Shuter that while the whole world has been focusing on Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding, another Royal has been keeping a big secret – he is gay.

“Within certain circles in London it is widely known that this member of the family is gay. The public has never been told and there are no plans for him ever to officially come out,” sources tell Straight Shuter. “The fact he was once married and has children has enabled him to keep his private life private, so far.”

  1. Edward. I swear everyone in the UK is born knowing it but we all just accepted it. We were all pretty shocked when he got married, but it does make for a great cover story.

    Of course, if it turns out to be Andrew, my heart might just give out. He’s lovely. And I’m not a dude.

  4. Prince Andrew ?
    He was married to Sarah Ferguson until about 30 years ago or so ? Doesn’t seem to have been officially dating ever since.
    She is still around at official functions.

  5. Prince Andrew is the one who married, had children, and divorced. There have been gay rumors about him. But maybe it’s another member of the family.

  11. There’s been rumors about Edward, but he’s still married. Don’t see this being Randy Andy. I’m thinking this must be a minor royal or cousin since I think all of the Queen’s grandkids are currently married or never married.

  15. I thought Prince Edward, but he was not just “once married”, he and Countess Sophie are still married.

  16. My immediate guess was Edward, those rumours have been doing the rounds for years. But “once married” doesn’t fit so I’ll go for Andrew

  17. Andrew is the only still living, divorced male English royal I can think of

    I would be surprised because he has such a reputation as a womanizer. Although it could explain why he and Fergie are still so close, and why he never remarried.

    Maybe Edward, Duke of Kent – he and Katharine are still legally married but have lived separately for ages. But most people outside England wouldn’t know who he is… and the blind says “once married” which they definitely still are.

  21. Andrew…explains why he has never remarried and why he and Fergie living together is no big deal

    • Snowdon was pretty much out the entire time, can’t see BG reporting some seriously old news especially since he and Margaret are deceased now and his gay/bi tendencies are openly portrayed on The Crown.

  26. Prince Andrew.

    Not this time, years ago a PR guy told me they had buried a story about PA being found with a guy while at sea. Was surprised then, thought if it was anyone it would be Edward.

  29. Prince Andrew – was married to Sarah Ferguson and has two daughters. Not surprising, people can be gay – I’m more surprised when there’s a big family with no gay people in it.

  33. I was sure this was Edward until it said ‘was’ married because he still is, isn’t he?

  38. Fergies ex husband, I forget his name. I think that’s why they used to share a home and be so amicable with each other was because she was his best friend above it all.

    • Charles is still married, Andrew is the only divorced royal who is still divorced.

      Makes sense to have Fergie around as a beard, he’s never once gotten involved with another woman. Also explains why their marriage failed.

  45. Prince Andrew…he was married & had kids but aside from being linked to a few women, he hasn’t remarried or seem to have any other relationships.
    I’m pretty surprised whenever ANYONE acts heterosexual when they’re not.

  46. Royal Man: Prince Andrew, Duke of York

    Optional: Why would it? However; it repels me how gay men -royal or not- have to deal with this closeting mess.

    • The firm word from the insiders is that Andrew is “the gay one”. He just happens to have a younger brother who appears to be more gay (though isn’t) – which is the perfect blind. It also informed his choice of career- in that staying ensconced in a military life essentially absolves him of taking on more public and charitable duties, which in turn, keeps him away under the press radar.

      Most people in Britain have forgotten about Andrew, we see him so rarely. This was a deliberate ploy.

    • This is who I thought of as well, not as well known a royal as the British family, although doesn’t quite say from which ‘House’ does it?

  49. There have been rumors for years that Prince Edward is gay. The royal family will always want to sweep anything negative under a rug.

    • I agree. Charles’ youngest brother, who loves theatre and married a woman who worked in the royals’ publicity office. You hardly ever see him.
