Cousin of the King for Sandhurst

Alexander Ogilvy is the latest descendant of the Royal House of Windsor to enroll at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. 

Ogilvy's sister, Flora Vesterberg, has spoken of her pride that he's joined the Forces. 'We're full of admiration for you,' she writes online. 'Forever thoughtful and inspiring.' Richard Eden, of the Daily Mail, reports that Ogilvy is heading for the RMC next weekend, the start of his military career.

Alexander Charles Ogilvy (born 12 November, 1996), is the only son of James Ronert Bruce Ogilvy (born 29 February, 1964) and his wife the former Julia Rawlinson (born 28 October, 1964), and is a grandson of HRH Princess Alexandra, the Hon Lady Ogilvy (born 25 December, 1936), a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

He was head boy at the £43,500-per-year Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh, Alex was an academic high-flyer who achieved A*s and As in his exams. He has a double major in Computer Science and Economics from the Ivy League Brown University in the USA, where he went out with Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo. Her mother, Kerry, is the daughter of assassinated presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy.

They have since split up and Alex has been romantically linked to 'It Girl' Isabella Charlotta Poppius.

Until now, Alex worked in New York at tech firm Prove, which helps businesses enable customers to prove their identity.
