She was born on September 30, 1992 at the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge.

It’s been said that she is close to her grandparents and will often stay at their royal residence within Kensington Palace, when she’s in London.

Why was Lady Windsor removed from the line of succession?

Up until 2008 Lady Windsor was the 25th person in the line of succession to the British throne.

However, this changed when she forfeited her place in compliance of the Act of Settlement 1701, along with her older brother, after being confirmed into the Roman Catholic Church.

This is the church of her mother and paternal grandmother.

The Act of Settlement 1701 is an Act of the Parliament of England that means the succession to the English and Irish crowns can only be Protestants.

Anyone who became a Roman Catholic, or who married one, became disqualified to inherit the throne.

After she graduated, she went to work for a number of charities including Veterans Aid, Beat Routes Charity, Eco-nnect and The Big Give, where she was the Philanthropic Executive.

In 2010, Lady Marina had a go at modelling for Hardy Amies in Tatler alongside her siblings.

She has since expressed an interest in going to work in foreign diplomacy.
