Less than a month ago, Peter Loughran, the ex-husband of Game of Thrones actress, Lena Headey, is reported to have been stopped by police as he protested outside Buckingham Palace regarding the legal proceedings involving their son, Wylie Loughran. The legal battle has been on-going since Peter and Lena divorced in 2013.
Peter Loughran & Lena Headey
Background of the Legal Battle
In 2016, it was reported that Lena had refused to return to the United States with their son, and instead enrolled him in a Yorkshire school preferring the education system in the United Kingdom. Peter says Lena was to return to the United States with their son but Lena says Peter approved the stay in the United Kingdom.
Peter’s protest outside Buckingham Palace was in support of Campaign group, Fathers4Justice, and included him carrying a sign saying ‘#ShameOfThrones’ and singing the well-known songs ‘Sweet Child O Mine’ and The Greatest Showman song ‘From Now On’.
Peter commented:
“I came to Buckingham Palace as 200 children lose contact with their dads in the family courts. This is done in the name of the Queen, whose Royal Coat of Arms hangs in every court and where judges are representatives of the crown.
“What better place than Buckingham Palace to announce my support for Fathers4Justice, scene of some of their most infamous protests.”
