Henry Fitzalan-Howard, Earl of Arundel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Miles Fitzalan-Howard, Earl of Arundel (born 3 December 1987) is the elder son and heir apparent of Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk, and his wife, Georgina. He was known as Lord Maltravers from birth until 2002.
As his father's heir apparent he is styled Earl of Arundel by courtesy. The Earldom of Arundel held by his father is the oldest extant Earldom in the Peerage of England, and possibly the oldest extant peerage in England.
As a Howard, he is related to Elizabeth I of England, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. He is also, through the Howards, descended from Edward I of England. He is also descended, through both parents and three of his four grandparents, from several illegitimate children of King Charles II.
In 2006, under the name Henry Arundel, he competed in the Formula BMW UK Championship, driving for Fortec Motorsport, and winning the Rookie Cup [1][2][3]. Arundel was elected to the MSA's Race Elite Scheme in April 2007, along with 5 other drivers in various British series.
From 1999 to 2002 he served as first page of honour to Queen Elizabeth II.
