Very useful thanks. I see it mentions the birth of his niece on 29 July, news of which was posted here on 8 August: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/peerage-news/gRYFSgdMCuM

The news report states he married last November. I suppose it's possible she may be with child.

The Baroness Fisher is a sister to the late 14th Earl of Northesk, whose son and heir Alexander Macrae Carnegie Lord Rosehill also died in tragic circumstances aged 20, thus severing the male line and resulting in the title passing to an eighth cousin once removed of the 14th earl (an agnatic descendant of the 2nd earl).

Debrett's 2019 and Debrett's online show him having married 2014, Sasha. Does anyone have any idea about her identity?

His brother Robin swam the Channel in 2019 to raise money for charity in his brother's memory.
