Lord Frederick Windsor (Frederick Michael George David Louis Windsor; born 6 April 1979), popularly known as Lord Freddie, is an English financial analyst who 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. He is currently 32nd in the line of succession to the British Throne.

Prince Michael's marriage to a Roman Catholic debarred 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 Wetherby School, Sunningdale School, Eton College, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he gained a 2:1 in classics. He also attended Fun With Music, a music appreciation class conducted by Ann Rachlin when young. He has also been a trainee at a bank and has done modelling in a campaign for Burberry; he also modeled for Tomasz Starzewski.

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, Lord Frederick was hired as an analyst at the investment bank JPMorgan in London.^[1]

In 1999, Lord Frederick admitted experimenting with cocaine. "I admit it is true," he said. "It is very difficult to avoid getting into this sort of thing when you move in these circles, but I don't blame anyone else for the incident."^[2]
