Early Life
Lord Frederick was born 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 his paternal grandmother, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent were first cousins. That is, Lord Frederick and Prince Philip are first cousins, twice removed. He is 39th in the line of succession to the British Throne.
Prince Michael's marriage to a Roman Catholic debarred him from succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms under the provisions of the Act of Settlement 1701. However, Lord Frederick and Lady Gabriella were brought up in the Anglican Communion, thus both keeping their places in the line of succession.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“I have always had something to live besides a personal life. And I suspected very early that to live merely in an experience of, in an expression of, in a positive delight in the human cliches could be no business of mine.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers’ hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
