Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick is one of the most popular and richest Fashion Designer who was born on December 2, 1988 in London, England, United Kingdom.
Edward Edmund Maximilian George Windsor, Lord Downpatrick (born 2 December 1988), known professionally as Eddy Downpatrick, is an English fashion designer and former financial analyst. He is the co-founder and creative director of the British fashion label FIDIR. Lord Downpatrick is a relative of the British royal family. As second-in-line to the Dukedom of Kent, he uses one of his grandfather’s subsidiary titles, Baron Downpatrick, by courtesy. He is the most senior member of the royal family to be excluded from the line of succession for being Catholic.
In 2003, aged 15, following the example of his grandmother the Duchess of Kent and his uncle Lord Nicholas Windsor, Downpatrick, who was baptised in the Church of England, chose to be confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church. He was therefore barred from the line of succession to the British throne according to the Act of Settlement 1701. As a first cousin twice removed of Queen Elizabeth II, Downpatrick is the most senior person excluded from the line of succession for being a Roman Catholic; as of May 2019, he would have been 39th in line. He remains second in the line of succession, after his father, to the Dukedom of Kent.
Downpatrick was born on 2 December 1988 at St Mary’s Hospital, London, and grew up in Cambridge. He is the eldest child of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, son and heir apparent of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Downpatrick’s mother, Sylvana Tomaselli, is a Canadian historian of Austro-Italian and French extraction. Diana, Princess of Wales, was Downpatrick’s godmother, but she died before he got to know her well.
