Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox noble Henry Oliver Charles FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton (born 6 April 1978), known as Harry Grafton, is an English peer and music promoter. He inherited the Dukedom of Grafton from his grandfather, Hugh FitzRoy, 11th Duke of Grafton, on 7 April 2011. He is also a direct male-line descendant of Charles II of England.

His farming estate and seat is Euston Hall, at Euston in Suffolk, near Thetford in Norfolk.[1][2]

Early life

Grafton is the son of James Oliver Charles FitzRoy, Earl of Euston (1947–2009), and his wife, Lady Clare Amabel Margaret Kerr, one of the daughters of the 12th Marquess of Lothian.[3][2]

His ancestor Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Grafton (1663–1690), was a bastard son of King Charles II by his mistress Barbara Villiers.[4] Grafton shares the surname FitzRoy (meaning "son of the king") with other natural lines descended from Charles II.[5]

Educated at Harrow School and the University of Edinburgh, Grafton spent a post-graduate year at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, studying estate management.[1][6]

Career

From 2002 to 2004 Viscount Ipswich, as the Duke was then known, worked in the United States in music business management, as a radio host in Nashville, Tennessee, and in 2005–2006 as a merchandise coordinator for the Rolling Stones on the A Bigger Bang tour.[1][6][7]

In 2007, he moved to London and in 2009, due to the death of his father, returned to Suffolk to help manage the Шаблон:Convert Euston Hall estate. He also gained the courtesy title of Earl of Euston, but decided to remain as Viscount Ipswich.[1]

On 7 April 2011, the 11th Duke of Grafton died, aged 92,[8] and his grandson the present Duke succeeded to the peerages and estates. He currently promotes live music events while modernising the farms of the estate.[1]

Arms

Шаблон:Infobox COA wide

The Grafton coat of arms includes Charles II's royal arms crossed by a baton sinister. It is an accurate coat as the male lineage is royal and is quartered since the union of crowns and is only in non-succession to these due to illegitimacy.[1]
