Lambert - The engagement is announced between Captain Frederick Wellesley, The Blues and Royals, younger son of the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, and Captain Katherine Lambert, Royal Engineers, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs Nicholas Lambert.

Note: the engagement notice, which has been placed by the prospective bride's father, excludes the courtesy style of 'Lord' from Frederick's name.

It seems very likely that this is the prospective bride's father - see https://www.fim-trust.org/person/nicholas-lambert/. Per https://histoiresroyales.fr/duc-de-wellington-prince-de-waterloo-fiancailles-frederick-wellesley/, Captain Lambert was born on 25 July 1992, and she is the daughter of Nicholas Lambert and Fi Burn.

192.com has a Katherine E Lambert living at an address in Buntingford in Hertfordshire, with Nicholas T Lambert, Fiona J Lambert, Angus T Lambert and Rosanna M Lambert. These people would appear likely to be the prospective bride, her parents and her siblings.

Some posters on the Nobiliana Forum are guessing that Nicholas Lambert is the one who descends, through the Walfords, Wilsons and Milbanks, from William Vane, Duke of Cleveland, though it seems to be an educated guess at this time.

[S R Eglesfield]

Company records confirm that the Nicholas Thomas LAMBERT who was with Cazenoves and Sarasins was born on 3 February 1957, i.e. he is the one who appears to be the father of Captain Katherine LAMBERT, and who is descended from the Duke of Cleveland.

[Harry Merritt]

Yes, and the father of Nicholas had an obituary notice in D Telegraph just the other day: Thomas Peter, age 93, late R.I.K. Dragoons. Further, BDM record on findmypast shows Katherine Emma Lambert, birth  reg. Sept. 1992, Stevenage, Herts, 

mother's maiden name Burn.

From my days scouring the Times of London listings eons ago for bits about Charles II descendants, came this: Angus Thomas Frederick Lambert, born in Yorkshire, March 31, 1991. (Well, 31 March 1991 to style it the British way.) Son of Nicholas and  

Fiona (Burn) Lambert. Noting the "Angus T." listed with Katherine E., Nicholas T.,Fiona J., in the first SR Eglesfield posting, this further supports the "this is the same Nicholas Lambert" argument,
