Lord Nicholas Windsor and wife welcome first child

Lord Nicholas Windsor, 37, and his wife, Lady Paola Windsor, 38, welcomed their first child, a son on September 22. Albert Windsor was born in London as the eighth grandchild of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and was named after his ancestor, Albert, Prince Consort.

He will most probably lose his place in the succesion line to the British throne because Catholics cannot inherit the throne. As both the Lady and the Lord are Catholics, Albert most probably will be christened that way as well.

Before anyone asks- the reason a Catholic can’t inherit the throne is because the British monarch is also automatically the head of the Church of England (a Protestant Church), and has been since the reign of Henry VIII.

Paola Windsor doesn’t have a courtesy title of her own, but she can be called by the feminine form of her husband’s courtesy title. So she’s either “Ms. Paola Windsor” OR “Lady Nicholas Windsor”. If they divorced, then she would become “Paola, Lady Nicholas Windsor”.
