Teresa Freeman-Grenville, 13th Lady Kinloss facts for kids

Teresa Mary Nugent Freeman-Grenville was born on July 20, 1957. She holds a special title in Britain called the 13th Lady Kinloss. This means she is a "peeress," a woman who has inherited a noble title.

She is connected to some very old royal families. She is a direct descendant of Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp. He was the older son of Lady Catherine Grey, who was the sister of Lady Jane Grey. Lady Jane Grey was briefly the Queen of England after King Edward VI died. Because of this family connection, some people have suggested that Lady Kinloss could have a claim to the English throne, based on old rules about who inherits the crown.

Inheriting the Title

Lady Kinloss is the senior heir of Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp. He was the only son of Lady Catherine Grey, who was the sister of Lady Jane Grey.

She went to school at Rye St Antony School in Headington, Oxford. After that, she studied fashion at York Art School. On September 30, 2012, she became the Lady Kinloss. This happened after her mother passed away. Her brother, Bevil David Stewart Chandos Freeman-Grenville, had also passed away less than a year before.
