\"RoyalCredit: Instagram\/@marinacwin On Sunday, June 8, Lady Marina Windsor, granddaughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and third cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Nico Macauley. The news took royal watchers by surprise\u2014not because it was unwelcome, but because it had been a while since the British royal family served up a proper engagement glow.\u201cVery happy! ,\u201d Lady Marina, 32, captioned an Instagram carousel that showed off her new engagement ring. The ring features a princess-cut stone\u2014believed to be either onyx or deep garnet\u2014set with a diamond halo. In two selfies, Lady Marina holds her hand to the camera, her new fianc\u00e9 Nico smiling beside her.\"2\"<\/p>\n

Though not frequently seen together at royal events, Nico Macauley is no stranger to Lady Marina\u2019s Instagram. A quick scroll reveals glimpses of their low-key yet close relationship, often set against art galleries, countryside walks, and charity events. Macauley, a Newcastle University graduate, currently works as an account executive at the cloud security firm Zscaler, according to his LinkedIn profile. Lady Marina serves as a philanthropic executive at The Big Give, a UK-based charity platform.Her sister, model Lady Amelia Windsor, was one of the first to celebrate publicly, commenting, \u201cYippeeee!\u201d Meanwhile, their brother Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, offered his own cheeky congratulations, writing, \u201cSo the hazing begins.\u201dThe excitement didn\u2019t stop there. Royal cousins chimed in with messages of love and celebration. Zenouska Mowatt wrote, \u201cLove youuuuuu my babes,\u201d while Flora Vesterberg added, \u201cLove you! Happiest news xx.\u201d\"3\"<\/p>\n

Though she once held a place in the line of succession to the British throne, Lady Marina officially gave that up in 2008. Her decision came after she was confirmed into the Catholic Church\u2014a move that, at the time, automatically excluded her from succession under the rules of the Act of Settlement 1701. Prior to her confirmation, she had been 25th in line.Lady Marina is one of the more private figures among the extended Windsor clan, but her engagement announcement has brought her\u2014and her distinctive sense of style and modern grace\u2014into the spotlight once again. As the royal family faces increasing public scrutiny and a shifting generational focus, her upcoming wedding serves as a reminder that love stories quietly unfold even beyond the palace gates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Instagram\/@marinacwin On Sunday, June 8, Lady Marina Windsor, granddaughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,71108,71109,7721,7719,7718,71105,7720,1281,71106,447,7710,519,71107,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-170777","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-british-royal-family-engagements","10":"tag-british-royal-family-news","11":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","12":"tag-duke-of-sussex","13":"tag-harry","14":"tag-lady-marina-windsor-engagement","15":"tag-meghan","16":"tag-meghan-markle","17":"tag-nico-macauley-engagement","18":"tag-prince-harry","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-royal-wedding-2023","22":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114654542906596716","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
