According to this article, his father Sir Philip Naylor-Leyland is the maternal grandson of the 10th and last Earl Fitzwilliam. According to other sources (which I don't have offhand), his mother Elizabeth, Lady Hastings was the natural daughter of Lord Fitzwilliam by his lover (later his wife) Joyce Langdale who was then married to the 2nd and last Viscount Fitzalan of Derwent. Has this been confirmed in any biography or memoirs of the Hon Lady Hastings? (For example, Lady Cosima Somerset publicly stated that her real father was someone else, as did Lady Diana Cooper nee Manners in her memoirs).
Imagine what would have happened if his mother had been a male. As a male, she would have inherited the dukedom of Norfolk although patrilineally a Fitzwilliam, probably not the first time this has happened despite the case of other "adulterine bastards" being excluded (e.g. the elder "half-brother" of the 3rd and last Baron Gardner). BTW, the 10th Earl only inherited the Fitzwilliam estates because his own elder brother was declared illegitimate. (Very sad case, including their mother's reaction to the elder brother's marriage).

Imagine, too, if paternity tests were required to inherit peerages, courtesy titles ...
