George Dominic Percy, Earl Percy (born 4 May 1984), is the heir apparent to the Dukedom of Northumberland. Percy was born as the second child and elder son of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. He became heir apparent to the dukedom in 1995, when his uncle Henry, 11th Duke of Northumberland, died. Percy's parents, now Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, were eager to protect him from "vices and pitfalls", and filed a lawsuit to prevent him from inheriting £1 million and a £250,000 annual income upon turning 18. In 1999, they succeeded in delaying the inheritance, which Lord Percy received at the age of 25. George Percy is also set to inherit Alnwick Castle, famously known as Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter films. He served as a Page of Honour to Queen Elizabeth II from 1996 to 1998. Earl Percy studied geography at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in sustainable development and renewable energy. He graduated in 2008, having shared a house with Pippa Middleton, with whom he has been linked since. Percy studied Arabic language at the University of Damascus, and later worked in Abu Dhabi. He is the managing director of energy company Cluff Geothermal with Paul Younger. As old family friends, Lord Percy and his family attended the wedding of Middleton's sister Catherine and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, in 2011. == References == 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「George Percy, Earl Percy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
