King Charles III's godson Lord Nicholas Windsor has reportedly split from his wife following the death of his mother, Katharine, Duchess of Kent. Nicholas, 55, and wife Paola Frankopan (otherwise known as Lady Nicholas Windsor), separated "for some time" after 19 years of marriage, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday, September 17. The news of their split came after Nicholas attended his mother's funeral solo on Tuesday, September 16. According to the Daily Mail, the estranged couple "no longer attend family events together," with a friend close to the situation claiming that Nicholas and Paola, 56, will "never" officially divorce. Nicolas and Paola married in 2006 and share three sons: Albert Louis Philip Edward (born in September 2007), Leopold Ernest Augustus Guelph (born in September 2009) and Louis Arthur Nicholas Felix Windsor (born in May 2024).
