Lord Frederick Windsor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord Frederick Michael George David Louis Windsor (born 6 April 1979) is a British 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 presently 30th in the line of succession to the British Throne.
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 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 of London, Lord Frederick was hired as an analyst at the investment bank JPMorgan in London.[1]
In 1999, Lord Frederick was convicted of cocaine possession; the conviction was later overturned. "I admit it is true," he said of his arrest. "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] According to numerous stories published in 2002, notably one published in the Mail on Sunday, Lord Frederick also was a committee member of the now-defunct gay men's club Sweet Suite.
