After his father died in 1970, Ivar was clear about how he regarded Philip as his father figure.
“In later years, I would sit with him and ask endless questions about my father. It was nice to have someone who could tell me all about him,” he said telegraph In April 2021. “Prince Philip was an excellent listener; You can tell him anything as long as you are honest and forthright. He is happy to hear your thoughts. But if he had some advice he thought you should listen to, he would give it to you.”
As a member of the extended family, Ivar has no royal duties. He previously worked as a geologist and businessman. Ivar is also a former director of SCL Group, a strategic communications firm. Although Ivar is a member of the royal family, she understands why she is not as involved in royal events as she once was as a child.
“The family has grown a lot,” he said Tatler In 2019. “When we were kids we used to go to royal functions all the time. But now that everyone has children, everything has slowed down.”
Although Eva is not active with members of the royal family, she has a close relationship with some of them. He maintains a bond with King Charles' younger brother Prince Edward and his wife Duchess Sophie. Ivar is Edward and Sophie's daughter Lady Louise Windsor's godfather.
Edward and Sophie are godparents to Ivar's two children, daughters Ella and Alix, whom he shares with his ex-wife. Penny Mountbatten. (The Exes, who split in 2011, also share daughter Lulee.)
Ivar made history in 2016 when she became the first member of the royal family to openly have a same-sex relationship with her now-husband. James Coyle. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and are the first British royals to marry same-sex couples. Chatting with The Independent in 2023, Ivar shared that her family had been “incredibly supportive” of her and Coyle's relationship.
