After graduating, Frederick worked as a fashion model, appearing in a campaign for Burberry and for the designer Tomasz Starzewski,[1] and also as a music journalist, notably for Tatler magazine.[2] He initially planned to qualify as a solicitor specialising in entertainment law, but by September 2006, according to The Times, he was working as an analyst in the wealth management arm of JP Morgan in London.[3] He is now a banker and executive director at JPMorgan Chase,[1][4] and is a CFA charterholder,[1][5] having received his charter in 2013.
Personal life
On St Valentine's Day, 14 February 2009, Frederick became engaged to the actress Sophie Winkleman.[6] The Queen consented to the marriage, as required by the Royal Marriages Act 1772,[7] and the couple were married at Hampton Court on 12 September 2009.[8]
On 20 January 2016, it was announced Frederick and Sophie had become parents to a second daughter, Isabella Alexandra May, who was born on 16 January 2016 at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.[11] She was baptised at Kensington Palace in June 2016, with Jamie Oliver, a close friend of her mother, serving as one of the godparents.[11]
From September 2016 until its closure in 2023, Frederick was president of the charity Soldier On!, which supported vulnerable, disadvantaged, or socially isolated people through archaeology and heritage projects as well as personal development workshops.
Under letters patent issued in 1917 and still in force today, Frederick's father is entitled to the dignity of prince and the style His Royal Highness as the son of a son of George V. Although these letters do not bestow these royal dignities beyond grandchildren of monarchs (except in the case of the children of the Prince of Wales, as modified by Elizabeth II), they allow the children of sons of sons of a British monarch to be styled as the children of a duke, with the honorific courtesy style of Lord or Lady before their given names.[13] Since Lord Frederick is not a peer in his own right, his style is not hereditary and his children are not entitled to any distinctions, including the prefix The Honourable.[14] They do, however, follow him in the line of succession to the British throne.[15]
*Descendant of Elizabeth II and therefore use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, but officially considered members of the House of Windsor
