Life and career

Lord Arundel is the eldest son of Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk, and his wife Georgina Gore. From 2007 to 2010, he studied at the University of Bristol and graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in economics.[2]

Between 2010 and 2019, he worked in various private equity and corporate finance roles in London at NM Rothschild, Evercore Partners and then Inflexion Private Equity.[2] In 2019, he co-founded Noble Insurance Group, where he serves as a managing director.[1]

Lord Arundel's other interests include skiing, hiking and climbing.[3]

Racing driver

In 2006, under the name Henry Arundel, he competed in the Formula BMW UK Championship, driving for Fortec Motorsport and winning the Rookie Cup.[4][5] He was elected to the Motor Sports Association Race Elite Scheme in April 2007, along with five other drivers in various British series. He remained with the Fortec Motorsport team during the 2007 Formula BMW UK season and placed third overall.[3]

In 2008, he raced for Räikkönen Robertson Racing in the British Formula 3 Championship. He scored 21 points and finished 15th in the standings. He raced for Carlin Motorsport during the 2009 British Formula 3 season.[6] He scored 90 points and finished 9th in the standings.

Marriage and family

He married Cecilia Mary Elizabeth dei Conti Colacicchi, nobile di Anagni (born 1988) at Arundel Cathedral on 16 July 2016.[7] They have two daughters, Lady Flora Mary Isabella Fitzalan-Howard (born 10 November 2018) and Lady Eliza Rachel Marie Fitzalan-Howard (born 12 May 2020).

Cecilia is the daughter of Count William Colacicchi, descendant of Odoardo Colacicchi and of Clare Elizabeth Vivienne Clutterbuck; through her mother she is a descendant of the Somers-Cocks, Barons Somers, the Clutterbucks and the Hardings, both belonging to the landed gentry.[8]

The Colacicchi family was enrolled among the twelve patrician families of Anagni in 1762 in the person of Anastasio, and since he died without heir, his brother Antonio, ancestor of the current representatives of the family, succeeded in his rights. Pope Leo XIII with Brief of November 23, 1886 granted Odoardo the title of roman count. Another branch of the family has also received the comitatus romanus with Brief of April 26, 1923. All titles have been recognized by the Kingdom of Italy, in particular that of Nobile di Anagni belongs to all family members regardless of sex.[9]
