Lord Frederick Michael George David Louis Windsor was born on 6 April 1979 at St Mary's Hospital in London. Lord Frederick is the eldest child and only son of Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Michael (née Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz). The son of an Anglican father and a Roman Catholic mother, Frederick was raised in the Anglican faith; he has thus retained his place in the line of succession to the British throne.
