Aatish Taseer gives the world a Royal throwback with his post on National Coming Out Day

On the occasion of the USA's National Coming Out Day, British-American writer and journalist Aatish Taseer used social media to celebrate his relationship with husband Ryan Davis. Taseer was earlier in a relationship with a member of the British Royal family. 

What

The USA recognises October 11 as National Coming Out Day.

• On this occasion, many Americans, including well-known celebrities, take the opportunity to openly discuss their personal experiences in same-sex relationships or 'come out' and reveal their sexual orientation to the public.
• British-American writer and journalist Aatish Taseer also posted a picture on X on the occasion, celebrating his relationship with spouse Ryan Davis.

• Taseer used a quote by American writer Henry James to describe his relationship with Davis.
• Taseer was earlier linked romantically with Lady Gabriella Windsor of the British Royal family; and this post, with Taseer talking about spending years 'afraid to come out' serves as a reminiscent nod to his past relationship. 

Taseer and the British Royals

• Aatish Taseer, 38, dated Lady Gabriella Windsor, 37, for three years during the 2000s. 
• The journalist spent time with her parents, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and the couple invited him into their five-bedroom Kensington Palace apartment.
• Prince Michael of Kent is the first cousin of Britain's late Queen, Elizabeth II.

• Taseer had described Kensington Palace as 'wildly depressing'. 
• He recounted spending three surreal years with Lady Gabriella and even claimed to have swam naked in Kensington Palace and taking substances at the Windsor Castle.
• Earlier, Taseer also spoke about flying with the Royals on a commercial flight, separated from other passengers by a velvet rope. 
• Princess Michael, according to Taseer, expressed doubts about Royals marrying commoners.
