Michael Charles Grant, 12th Baron de Longueuil (born 1947) is a nobleman possessing the only French colonial title recognized by the Monarch of Canada, currently his third cousin, Charles III.

## Assumption of title and royal connection

[edit]

He assumed the title of Baron de Longueuil in 2004 upon the death of his father, Raymond Grant, in Navarrenx, near Pau, France.

He is related to the monarch through his grandmother, Ernestine Maude Bowes-Lyon. She was first cousin to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The baron was a second cousin, once removed, to Queen Elizabeth II.

## Career, art and residence

[edit]

A medical practitioner, Grant de Longueuil has interests in palliative medicine, working for 13 years at Hayward House.[citation needed] His interest in pain control led him to take a degree in clinical hypnosis.[citation needed]

## Family

[edit]

Grant de Longueuil married Isabel Padua,[1] born in the Philippines and of mixed Spanish and Filipino origin. Together, they have three children, including Rachel and Rebecca.

His second wife is Susan Casey, daughter of the BBC comedy writer and producer James Casey. They have one son.[2]

## Family seat

[edit]

The Barons de Longueuil have not lived in Canada for several generations, having lived in Britain and France and, in the 1970s, in Luzon, Philippines.[3]

The original seigneury was sold[4] in the early 1800s. The Kingston home of the barons, Alwington House, was sold out of the family in 1910.[5] In 1993, the current baron and his wife visited the Longueuil Castle or Ardath Castle grounds on Wolfe Island, Ontario, without making any claim to them.[6] Ardath Castle had been in the family as early as 1795, when the Grant family purchased lands in the area.[7]
