Британ король отбасының мүшесі: Лорд Николас Виндзор және оның өмірі

Member of the British Royal Family, great grandson of King George V

Lord Nicholas Charles Edward Jonathan Windsor (born 25 July 1970) is a relative of the British royal family, the youngest child of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. As a Catholic convert, he has forfeited his right of succession to the throne. Lord Nicholas has voiced strong anti abortion views.

Lord Nicholas Windsor was born on 25 July 1970 at King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill, London, to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Katharine, Duchess of Kent. He has an older brother, Lord St Andrews, and a sister, Lady Helen Taylor. He was baptised later that year at Windsor Castle. His godparents included Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles III), and Donald Coggan, at the time Archbishop of York and later Archbishop of Canterbury.

Lord Nicholas's mother, the Duchess of Kent, had been received into the Catholic Church in 1994. On 14 July 2011, Lord Nicholas became an Honorary Vice president of the Friends of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, an Anglican Ordinariate within the Catholic Church. Lord Nicholas is also a patron of the Society of King Charles the Martyr and, though it is a largely Anglican society, he identifies it with his Catholic faith. In a passage written by Windsor for the Society's website, he extolls Charles's virtues: "In the King's personal piety, devotion and support of the Church, his ecumenical understanding (far advanced for his day), his patronage of the Arts in the service of God, his inspiration of the Christian classic, Eikon Basilike and of course his martyrdom, we have much to REMEMBER and be thankful for."

Lord Nicholas met his future wife, Paola Doimi de Lupis Frankopan Šubić Zrinski, at a party in New York City in 1999 to mark the Millennium. He became engaged to her in July 2006. Following a civil ceremony on 19 October 2006 in a London register office, A House of Commons Early Day Motion welcomed "the first overt marriage within the rites of the Catholic Church of a member of the Royal Family since the reign of Queen Mary I, and the first marriage of a member of the Royal Family to take place within the Vatican City State". Lord and Lady Nicholas have three sons. Their first child, Albert Louis Philip Edward Windsor, is the first Windsor to carry the name Albert since King George VI. An Early Day Motion in the House of Commons welcomed the baptism of Albert as the first royal child to be baptised a Catholic since 1688.
