The playboy son of Princess Michael of Kent, Freddie Windsor, is to become a City banker. The handsome British royal - the son of Queen Elizabeth's first cousin - is to follow in the footsteps of his father, the princess' first husband Tom Troubridge. Simon Astaire, Princess Michael’s spokesman, said: "I can confirm that he is going to start a job in September in private banking with JP Morgan." Freddie - who is the 30th in line to the throne - graduated from Oxford University with a Classics degree and has previously pursued a career in the film industry. Other jobs the 27-year-old royal has held include working for magazines, writing music reviews and penning a party diary during the Cannes Film Festival. After his stint working in the showbiz field, he was pressured by his parents to get a "proper job" and enrolled in London's BPP Law School. Eventually he landed a job at top London legal firm Clintons, which specialises in media law - but he never took it up.Instead, he started working for a film production company Brass Hat, before developing an interest in finance.
Despite the lengthy career search, friends of the royal say he has finally found his path in life.
A friend was quoted as saying: "He is not actually being fickle at all. It is not such a departure from what he did at Brass Hat, because he was involved in film financing, rather than on the creative side. So really it is a progression."
