Her paternal great-grandparents were King George V and Queen Mary. Her maternal grandparents are Baron Günther Hubertus von Reibnitz and Countess Maria Anna Szapáry of Muraszombath and Szapár. Gabriella was born at Saint Mary"s Hospital in Paddington, London, England and has an older brother, Lord Frederick Windsor, born on 6 April 1979 in the same hospital.
Her father is a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and so Gabriella is a first cousin once removed of the Queen.
That is, Gabriella and Prince Philip are first cousins, twice removed. Prince Michael"s marriage to a Roman Catholic debarred him from succession to the British Throne under the provisions of the Acting of Settlement 1701.
This was reversed by the Succession to the Crown Acting 2013, which removed the disqualification of those who marry Roman Catholics. Gabriella was educated at Downe House School in Cold Ash, Berkshire.
In May 2004, Gabriella graduated from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, with a Bachelor degree in Comparative Literature.
In 2012, she obtained an Master of Philosophy degree in Social Anthropology from Linacre College, Oxford.
She is a member of the British Royal Family, the House of Windsor, and is 49th in the line of succession to the British throne.
