Egon von furstenberg gay

Lord Ivar was previously married to businesswoman Penny Mountbatten but after over a decade together, the pair split in 2010. Although she married Archduke Joseph of Austria as a teenager, it’s thought she had a romantic affair with his sister, Archduchess Maria Christina. “We weren’t just friends. Smithsonian Channel docuseries “Private Lives of the Windsors” alleged that George “didn’t recognize any boundaries to his sexual exploration.”

“He was sailing very, very close to the wind, because you have to remember that at that time, homosexuality was illegal.

When it happened, my initial response was, 'Who knew?’”

He acknowledged that his romance with the fashion designer—with whom he broke up with in 1981 before reuniting in 1991—had “caused confusion and lots of speculation.”

“A relationship that began with indifference, then exploded into a romance as natural to us as breathing, surprised us and everyone else,” Barry wrote.

Princess Isabella of Parma

Princess Isabella of Parma lived between 1741 and 1763 and throughout history, it’s been speculated that she was possibly bisexual. “I could have declared my sexuality, come out as some others were doing, but I was among the many at that time who were too scared to do so.”

Barry decided that he would “live in silence” but “not with hypocrisy.”

“I would never pose or pretend,” he explained.

And of course, with me, he opened immediately. Throughout his life, he declined to marry a woman, despite having his family arrange numerous marriages for him. King Umberto II of Italy

In the early 20th century, King Umberto II was married to Queen Marie-José of Belgium and they shared three children. “When it happened, my initial response was, ‘Who knew?’”

Together, Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller have built a partnership that thrives on authenticity and respect.

In a 1981 interview, he shared that he had “no regrets” about being with a man sexually.

“I can't stay with the same person for long. The 78-year-old fashion icon, whose wrap dress changed women’s wardrobes forever, has made it clear that her husband Barry Diller’s recent coming out as gay hasn’t changed a single thing about their bond.

After years of whispers and speculation, Diller—her husband of 24 years—publicly came out in his March 2025 memoir "Who Knew." But when asked by Variety if the revelation shifted anything between them, Diane brushed off the question with characteristic candor and wit.

Then he wrote the book.”

Their connection has always gone deeper than traditional definitions. His decision to come out received a lot of backlash, especially as homosexuality was illegal at the time. I have struggled with my sexuality and in some ways I still do; it has been a real journey to reach this point.”

In 2018, Lord Ivar married his husband James Coyle, later sharing that it was an “amazing day.”
