Albert Louis Philip Edward Windsor (born 22 September 2007) is the only son and child of Lord Nicholas Windsor, the second son and youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and his wife, Paola Doimi de Frankopan.
He was born in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. Albert is the eighth grandchild for the Duke and Duchess of Kent.
Albert is the first direct male line descendant of George V to bear the surname Windsor but no courtesy title, being entitled only to the style, Albert Windsor, Esq. He is also currently 26th in the line of Succession to the British Throne, and should he be baptised a Roman Catholic, as is likely, he will lose his place, though he will still be in the line of succession to the Kent Dukedom, which is not regulated by the Act of Settlement.
He is named after his ancestor, Prince Albert (the first Windsor to carry the name since King George VI) and Louis and Edward after his maternal and paternal grandfathers, respectively.
