«Breaking News» Amelia Windsor's brother Lord Downpatrick, 29, insists he had a ‘normal’ upbringing

Amelia Windsor's brother Lord Downpatrick has insisted he had a normal upbringing despite his royal connections.

Edward, 29 - who is the Duke of Kent's grandson - said his grandfather's police protection was the 'only real hint that there was something different going on'.

The fashion designer also revealed his plans to open his menswear label FIDIR's first shop.

Speaking to Tatler, Edward - known as Eddy - admitted he had not always realised that he would be treated differently because of his title and position in life. 

Amelia Windsor's brother Lord Downpatrick has insisted he had a 'normal' upbringing despite his royal connections. He features in the latest issue of Tatler magazine (above) 

'Only with age - and with a degree of cynicism - can you possibly tell that some people treat you differently because you haven't got a Mr in front of your names,' he said. 

Describing what it feels like to be born into the royal family, he commented: 'It's complete luck that it happens to be you but it's quite cool that it has.'

However, Eddy - whose godmother was Princess Diana - insisted he had a normal upbringing in Cambridge with younger sisters Lady Amelia, 23, and Lady Marina, 26. 

He also admitted he would happily skip a sun-soaked summer holiday with his parents in favour of a solo trekking expedition or trip to Scotland. 

Edward (right with sister Lady Amelia at the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations in 2016) said the police presence around his grandfather was the 'only real hint that there was something different going on' 

Eddy - who is heir to the Dukedom of Kent after his father - is the eldest son of former diplomat George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and his wife, Sylvana, Countess of St Andrews,

His mother Sylvana is a lecturer in 18th and 19th century political theory at Cambridge University.

The full interview features in the November issue of Tatler (above) 

Eddy went to Eton, before going on to study French and German at Oxford University, where he was an ex-president of the notorious Bullingdon Club. 

He then started working at JP Morgan, before setting up fashion label FIDIR three years ago, inspired by his holidays in Scotland.   

Eddy, like his sister Marina, converted to Roman Catholicism, losing his place in the Line of Succession.

However, his youngest sister Amelia, a model and socialite, remains 38th in line to the throne.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
