Lord Frederick Windsor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lord Frederick Michael George David Louis Windsor (6 April 1979) is 30th in the line of succession to the British Throne. He is the only son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent (née Baroness Marie-Christine von Reibnitz). Lord Frederick was born in Paddington, London, United Kingdom) and has a sister, Lady Gabriella Windsor, born in 1981.

Prince Michael's marriage to a Roman Catholic disbarred him from succession to the British Throne under the provisions of the Act of Settlement 1701. However, Lord Frederick was brought up in the Anglican Communion and thus keeps his place in the line of succession.

He was educated at Sunningdale School, Eton College, and Magdalen College in Oxford University in classical literature. He has also been a trainee at a bank and has done modelling in a campaign for Burberry; he also modeled for Tomasz Starzewski. His 1999 conviction for cocaine possession was later overturned, and he successfully sued the Daily Mail over its story about the incident.

A sometime music journalist (notably for Tatler magazine), he planned to become a solicitor working in entertainment law. As he told one newspaper columnist, "I can't stand doing anything dull like EU or trust stuff." In September 2006, according to the Times of London, Lord Frederick was hired as an analyst at the investment bank JPMorgan in London.[1]

According to numerous stories published in 2002, notably one published in the Mail on Sunday, Lord Frederick also was a committee member of a now-defunct homosexual men's club known as Sweet Suite. [2].
