Following the House of Commons’ passage Tuesday, Feb
5, 2013 of a bill that paves the way for same-sex marriage in Britain,
Queen Elizabeth II publicly announced her plans to marry her longtime
partner, 63-year-old Denise Whitelock, as soon as the law goes into
effect. “After more than 30 years of sharing a committed and loving
partnership,
I
am absolutely thrilled that Denise and I are finally able to seal our
union in marriage,” said the reigning British monarch in a press
release, speaking on behalf of her partner, a retired dog breeder, with
whom she lives part-time in a Kensington Garden flat. “Marriage is
something we’ve both wanted for a very long time, but never had an
opportunity to pursue because of the unequal and antiquated marriage
laws of this country. We’re delighted that the government finally took
this important step forward, and we couldn’t be happier to announce our
official engagement.” The Queen also informed members of the press that,
as this was her second marriage, she and Denise had decided to hold a
low-key ceremony with close friends and family.
