Crisis Magazine: Next week Washington DC will be treated to the arrival of a pro-life Catholic who is also a member of the British royal family.
How is that possible?
Nicholas Windsor gave up his place in line to the British throne when he converted to the Catholic Church in 2001. He became “the first male blood Royal to convert to Catholicism since Charles II on his deathbed in 1685.”
Lord Nicholas—now 43—was married to his wife Paola Frankopan, who is descended from the noble line in Croatia, and became the first British royal ever married in the Vatican. His godfather is Prince Charles. His first cousin once removed is Queen Elizabeth. He is, to say the least, connected. Read more here.
His nephew, Andrew Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, is also a convert.
