LONDON —
The Duke of Westminster, reputed to be Britain’s richest man, has fathered a son and heir to his title.
The 8-pound, 10-ounce boy, named Huge Richard Louis, was born Tuesday. He is the new Earl Grosvenor and will someday become the seventh Duke of Westminster and inherit his father’s estate, which includes 300 acres in London’s expensive Mayfair and Belgravia districts and a 13,000-acre rural estate.
The 40-year-old duke, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, and his 31-year-old wife, Natalia, also have two daughters.
