Charles Innes-Ker, 11th Duke of Roxburghe

Captain Charles Robert George Innes-Ker is the 11th Duke of Roxburghe. He is the eldest son of the 10th Duke of Roxburghe and his first wife, the former Lady Jane Meriel Grosvenor, daughter of the 5th Duke of Westminster.[1] His uncle was Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster.[1] He was educated at Eton College and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, passed out in December 2004, and has served with the Blues and Royals in Windsor and Iraq. Prior to succeeding to the dukedom on his father's death in August 2019, he was styled Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford.

On his accession to the dukedom, he inherited Floors Castle and 60,000 acres around the Cheviot Hills and the River Tweed as well as hotels in the area, with an estimated wealth of up to £100 million.[1] In February 2003, he was caught travelling on the Tyne and Wear Metro without paying the £1 fare.[2][3] He chose to pay a £10 fine rather than take the case to court and risk appearing on "losers' posters" displayed around the city, naming people who had been caught travelling without tickets.[2][3]

On 22 July 2011, he married The Honourable Charlotte Susanna Aitken (b. 15 February 1982), elder daughter of Maxwell Aitken, 3rd Baron Beaverbrook.[4] The couple split and sued for divorce in June 2012, less than a year after the wedding. In 2015 he had a daughter with fashion designer Morvarid Sahafi. On 30 January 2021, his engagement to Annabel Green was announced. [5]
