Either a mistake in the announcement or they have one more son.

The second son, born 1963, is in Burke's Peerage as Charles Hugo.

There however is also a Charles T Godfrey-faussett in Ancestry, mother's maiden name Simpson, whose birth was registered (in another place as the other children) in July-September 1965.

It appears that they have four children, as in the announcement: Professor Peter Fermor (born 1959), (Charles) Hugo (born 1963), Charles Thomas (born 1965) and Fiona Mary (born 1958). It is a bit confusing that two of the sons have the same first christian name, albeit that Hugo is known by his middle name.
