Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, Earl Grosvenor (born 29 January 1991) is the third of four children and the only son of the 6th Duke of Westminster and the Duchess of Westminster (formerly Natalia Phillips). Lord Grosvenor is also the 647th in line to the British Throne through his mother; a descendant of Princess Augusta Charlotte of Wales (eldest daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales and a granddaughter of King George II). Earl Grosvenor is the only heir to the dukedom of Westminster, and as such, stands to inherit most of the vast Grosvenor fortune based on property in London. There are heirs (the Earl of Wilton and his heirs) to the subsidiary titles such as the marquessate of Westminster. Through his mother he is a descendant of Alexandr Pushkin and therefore, a descendant of Peter the Great's African protégé, Abram Petrovich Gannibal.
