So glad to hear this message:
From Kensington Palace in London, Great Britain, it was announced
that: "It is with very great pleasure that Prince and Princess Michael
of Kent and Mr and Mrs Barry Winkleman announce the engagement of Lord
Frederick Windsor to Miss Sophie Winkleman." Lord Frederick Windsor
proposed to his girlfriend of two years on 14 February, Valentine's
day. A wedding date hasn't been set yet, but the wedding will take
place later this year. Lord Frederick Windsor works as a banker at JP
Morgan. Sophie Winkleman was born at London on 5 August 1980 as
daughter of Barry Winkleman and Cindy Black, a children's author. From
the previous marriage of her father to Evelyn Pollard she has a half-
sister, TV-presentator Claudia Winkleman. Sophie is an actress.

I had assumed with raging rumours he was gay.. It now seems he is
straight or bi perhaps.. But this is bloody good news just the same.
Congratulations to the couple.

Why a chap with a string of previous and numerous delightful female
conquests should pick up a "gay tag"
baffles me.....

With his reputation as the former hell-raiser of the Royal Family Lord
Freddie Windsor may not immediately seem the settling kind, but he has
now bid a final goodbye to his bachelor ways and proposed to Sophie
Winkleman, his girlfriend of two years, on Valentines Day.
