George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews (George Philip Nicholas Windsor; born 26 June 1962) is the son of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and his wife, Katharine, Duchess of Kent. The title is a subsidiary title of his father, and Lord St Andrews holds it by courtesy as heir apparent to the Dukedom of Kent.
On 9 January 1988, Lord St Andrews married divorcée Sylvana Palma Tomaselli at a register office in Edinburgh. As she is a Roman Catholic, he is excluded from the line of succession to the British Throne, in which he would otherwise be twenty-fifth. The couple has three children: Lord Downpatrick, Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor, and Lady Amelia Windsor.
As the Dukedom of Kent is not subject to the Act of Settlement, in which all Roman Catholics or people who marry Roman Catholics are excluded from the line of succession to the British Throne, The Earl of St Andrews will inherit the title of Duke of Kent on the death of his father. As the heir apparent to the Earl, Lord Downpatrick, will eventually be the Duke of Kent and the first Roman Catholic to hold that title since the Reformation.
He is a trustee of charity SOS Children's Villages UK and Patron of the Association for International Cancer Research.
