Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain did not believe that gay marriage had been legalized, Christian Today reports.
The newspaper quotes a “friend” as saying that the Queen, because of her deep Christian faith, did not support “same-sex marriage” and was convinced that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
The Queen reportedly told her friend she was frustrated but "powerless to intervene."
“I cannot intervene, I can only advise and warn,” she said.
The friend added: "It was the 'marriage' thing that she thought was wrong, because marriage ought to be sacrosanct between a man and a woman."
The law on “same-sex marriage” was passed in England and Wales in 2013 and in Scotland in 2014. However, such marriages are still not permitted in Northern Ireland.
