Lord Frederick Windsor (Frederick Michael George David Louis; born 6 April 1979), also nicknamed Freddie Windsor, is a British financial analyst, and the only son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Windsor was born on 6 April 1979 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, England. His sister, Lady Gabriella Windsor, was born on 23 April 1981 in the same hospital. His father is a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and so Lord Frederick is a first cousin once removed of the Queen. He is also related to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, since he and Lord Frederick's paternal grandmother, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, were first cousins (their fathers were the sons of George I of Greece). That means that Lord Frederick and Prince Philip are first cousins, twice removed: Philip's paternal grandfather is Frederick's paternal great-great-grandfather. At the same time, Queen Victoria is the maternal great-great-grandmother of Prince Philip and the paternal great-great-great-grandmother of Lord Frederick; that makes them third cousins once removed. He is 46th in the line of succession to the British Throne and 8th in the line of succession to the Dukedom of Kent.
Prince Michael's marriage to a Roman Catholic debarred him from succession to the thrones of the Commonwealth realms under the provisions of the Act of Settlement 1701. However, Lord Frederick and Lady Gabriella were brought up in the Church of England, thus both keeping their places 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 has also been a trainee at a bank and has worked as a fashion model for a campaign by Burberry and for the designer Tomasz Starzewski.
