Ashley Louis David Hicks (born 18 July 1963) is a British author, architect, and interior and furniture designer. He is the only son of Lady Pamela Hicks (née Mountbatten) and David Nightingale Hicks. Hicks designs architecture and interiors in Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom. He divides his time between designing private residential interiors and occasional commercial work. Hicks is the grandson of Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma and her husband Louis.〔 Through Countess Mountbatten's paternal ancestral line, Hicks is the third great grandson of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. Through his maternal grandfather, Hicks is the second cousin of Charles, Prince of Wales. He is also the godson of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. == Personal background == Hicks was born on 18 July 1963, in King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill, London. He is the son and second child of David and Lady Pamela Hicks. He is the younger brother of Edwina Brudenell. He is the older brother of India Hicks, author, television host, fashion model, and fragrance designer. Hicks was raised at Britwell House, an 18th-century house in Britwell Salome, that served as the family's home, as well as his father's showplace. It was there that his father designed elaborate landscapes that were "virtual outdoor rooms with carefully framed vistas". During the school year, Hicks boarded at the private, Stowe School. In 1978, the success of his father's business waned, forcing them to sell Britwell, their stately country house in Oxfordshire. Hicks attended the three-day Sotheby's house sale, 20–22 March 1979, with a friend from school who bid for a David Hicks table. After the auction, the Hicks family moved to the Grove, a smaller house on the estate, as well as a set of rooms at the Albany, the legendary early-19th-century London apartment building in Piccadilly.〔 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「Ashley Hicks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
