Nicholas Harold Phillips (23 August 1947 – 1 March 1991) was a British landowner in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire with royal connections. As a descendant of Sophia, Electress of Hanover, he was in the line of succession to the British throne. ==Life== Phillips was the son of Colonel Harold Pedro Joseph Phillips, Coldstream Guards, by his marriage to Georgina Wernher. He was educated at Eton, the University of London and the University of Lausanne.〔Patrick W. Montague-Smith, ed., ''Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage'', 1980 edition, p. B-850〕 He had four sisters, who included Alexandra Hamilton, Duchess of Abercorn and Natalia Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster. On 18 October 1975, in Salzburg, Austria, Phillips married Countess Maria Lucia Czernin von und zu Chudenitz, daughter of Count Paul Otto Ernst Diepold Maria Czernin (1904–1955).〔Her paternal grandmother, the Hon. Lucy Katherine Beckett (1884-1979), was a daughter of Ernest Beckett, 2nd Baron Grimthorpe.〕 They had two children, Charlotte Phillips, born 1976, and Edward Paul Phillips, born 1981. In 1977 Phillips inherited the Luton Hoo estate. In the late 1980s he embarked on developing a business park called 'Capability Green', on land he owned near the access road between the M1 road and Luton Airport. The name was a reference to much of the estate's gardens having been laid out by Capability Brown. The park is now billed by the Bedfordshire and Luton Economic Development Partnership as the "premier business park of the East of England."〔(An Incomplete Account of East Hyde, West Hyde and Parish - West Hyde )〕 Considerable debt was charged against the Luton Hoo estate to build the park and during the subsequent property crash Mr Phillips died in early March 1991.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholas Harold Phillips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
