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 life, early and/or life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
