Lord Frederick "Freddie" Michael George David Louis Windsor (April 6, 1979 in Paddington, London, United Kingdom) is the 30th in the line of succession to the British throne. He is the son of His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Michael, the former Baroness Marie-Christine von Reibnitz. He also has a sister named Gabriella, born in 1981.
Prince Michael's marriage to a Roman Catholic disbarred him from succession to the British Throne under the provisions of the Act of Settlement 1701. However, Frederick joined the Anglican communion and thus keeps his place in the line of succession.
He was educated at Ludgrove prepatory school in Wokingham, Berkshire and Eton College, Magdalen College and Oxford University in classical literature. He has also been a trainee at a bank, been exposed in the press for using cocaine, and has done modelling in a campaign for Burberry.
A sometime music journalist, he plans to become a solicitor working in entertainment law. As he told one newspaper columnist, "I can't stand doing anything dull like EU or trust stuff."
According to numerous stories published in 2002, notably one published in the Mail on Sunday, Lord Freddie also was a committee member of a now-defunct gay men's club known as Sweet Suite.
