Sylvana Palma Windsor, Countess of St Andrews (born 28 May 1957) is the wife of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, the eldest son of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.
Lady St Andrews was born Sylvana Palma Tomaselli in Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada, daughter of Maximillian Karl Tomaselli and Josiane Preschez.
She married John Paul Jones on 25 December 1977 in Vancouver. They were divorced in 1981.
She married Lord St Andrews in Leith on 9 January 1988. As she was a Catholic, under the terms of the Act of Settlement this barred her husband from succeeding to the British Throne.
Lord and Lady St Andrews have three children: Edward, Lord Downpatrick, Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor and Lady Amelia Windsor. Lord Downpatrick was received into the Catholic Church in May 2003, and consequently lost his place in the line of succession.
Lady St Andrews is currently Director of Studies in History Part I and Social & Political Sciences at St John's College, Cambridge University. She is also a College Lecturer in Social & Political Sciences, and her research focusses on topics relating to History, Social and Political Sciences, and particularly Enlightenment political theory and Conjectural History.
