 Lady Nicholas Windsor gave birth on September 8 to a son at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

The former Paola Doimi de Frankopan married Lord Nicholas Windsor, the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Kent in a Roman Catholic ceremony at the Vatican on November 4, 2006. Lord Nicholas converted to the Roman Catholic faith in 2001, and thus, ceased to be a dynast to the British throne. The Act of Settlement, which was promulgated by Parliament in 1701 and regulates succession to the throne, states that possible dynasts to the British throne cannot be Roman Catholic or marry a person who is Roman Catholic, and remain in line to the throne.

Prince Michael of Kent and the Earl of St. Andrews married Roman Catholics, and thus, ceased to be in line to the throne. Lord St. Andrews' children were baptised, according to the rites of the Anglican church, but Lord Downpatrick and Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor have been confirmed in the Roman Catholic church, and are no longer dynasts.

The Duke of Kent's wife, Katharine, converted to the Roman Catholic faith in 1994, but the Duke did not lose his succession rights as his wife was Anglican at the time of the marriage.

Lord and Lady Nicholas's first child, Albert, was born on September 22, 2007.
Lord Nicholas and his two sons remain in line for the Kent dukedom.

Lady Nicholas' mother, the Swedish-born lawyer, Ingrid Detter, is an adviser the Holy See on international relations.
