Biography
Family
Lord Milford Haven is the oldest son of the 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven and Janet Mercedes Bryce, the older brother of Lord Ivar Mountbatten and a descendant of Catherine the Great and Alexander Pushkin. With the death of his father on 14 April 1970, he became subsequently the 4th Marquess of Milford Haven and head of the House of Mountbatten. He is in the line of succession to the British throne through his descent from Queen Victoria's second daughter, Princess Alice. He is also a second cousin to Charles, Prince of Wales through both of their fathers.
Lord Milford Haven married firstly Sarah Georgina Walker (born London, Middlesex, 17 November 1961/2), former wife of Andreas Antoniou (married 1985; divorced 1987), daughter of George Alfred Walker and Jean Maureen (née Hatton), in London on 8 March 1989. The couple were divorced on 27 February 1996. They had two children:
- Lady Tatiana Helen Georgia Mountbatten (born London, 16 April 1990) who works in public relations [1]
- Henry (Harry) David Louis Mountbatten, Earl of Medina (born London, 19 October 1991) [2]
Lord Milford Haven subsequently married Clare Husted Steel (born Manhattan, New York, New York County, New York, 2 September 1960) at Coatue Point, Nantucket, Nantucket County, Massachusetts, on 20 August 1997, without issue.
Career
In 2000, he founded uSwitch, a website which helps consumers compare and change suppliers of various services. The company was sold to the American media firm EW Scripps in March 2006 for around £210 million ($400 million).[3]
He plays polo, and Julian Hipwood has coached his teams.[4]
