Charles Robert George Innes Ker, Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford (born 18 February 1981) is a British aristocrat.

Biography

Lord Bowmont is the eldest son and heir apparent of the 10th Duke of Roxburghe and his first wife, the former Lady Jane Grosvenor, daughter of the 5th Duke of Westminster.[1] His uncle is 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.

He will inherit Floors Castle and 60,000 acres around the Cheviot Hills and the River Tweed as well as hotels in the area, leading up to an estimated wealth of £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. 1982), eldest daughter of Lord Beaverbrook.[4] The couple split and sued for divorce less than a year after the wedding.[5]

Chiefship of Clan Innes

The present Duke of Roxburghe is heir to the chiefship of the Clan Innes (Clann Innis, not Mac Aonghuis or Clan MacInnes); however, since he bears the surname Innes-Ker, the Lord Lyon King of Arms will not recognise him as chief of the name Innes.
