King Charles III, and the first cousin of William, Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex
.
Early life
He was born at
Spencer earldom.[2]
A year after he was born, his family moved to Cape Town in South Africa, where he grew up.[1] Lord Althorp was a pupil at Diocesan College in Cape Town, and later enrolled at the University of Edinburgh.[3] He graduated from Arts Educational Schools in London, on 6 September 2022, as the valedictorian.[4]
Viscount Althorp
English primogeniture law dictates that Lord Althorp, not his elder sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, who is her father's firstborn child, will inherit the Spencer title.[5][6] Property is divisible separately, but most peers choose to keep property and title combined.
