Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, KG, GCVO, GCStJ (Richard Alexander Walter George; born 26 August 1944) is the youngest grandchild of King George V and Queen Mary.

He is a paternal cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, at birth he was 5th in the line of succession to the British throne, currently he is 27th in the line of succession as well as the first in line not descended from King George VI.
