The third season of The Traitors got off to a dramatic start, with Lord Ivar Mountbatten making his royal connections evident from the start. Named as Britain's first gay royal by several publications, Mountbatten is King Charles's second cousin and remains close with many Royal Family members. So it perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise that Lord Mountbatten name-dropped the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during his very first scene on The Traitors.
Explaining his heritage, the royal explained during the season 3 premiere, "I was born with a very nice last name. Mountbatten." He continued, "It is one of the Royal Family's surnames."
