Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick

Encyclopedia : E : ED : EDW : Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick

Edward Edmund Maximilian George Windsor, Lord Downpatrick (born 2 December 1988) is the only son and heir of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews and his wife, the Countess of St. Andrews (née Palma Tomaselli).

His father is the elder son of the Duke and his wife Duchess of Kent. Lord Downpatrick is heir after his father to the Dukedom of Kent and for this reason enjoys the courtesy title Lord Downpatrick. Following the examples of his grandmother, the Duchess of Kent, and of his uncle Lord Nicholas Windsor, he became a Catholic and therefore was struck from the British succession. Since his mother, too, is a Catholic, his father was struck from the succession upon marrying her. He has two younger sisters: Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor, and Lady Amelia Windsor.
