The Duke of Kent 's grandson, Albert Windsor , 18, oozed confidence in official portraits taken from the lavish Le Bal des Débutantes .

The royal, who is the eldest son of Lord Nicholas Windsor and his estranged wife, Paola Louise Marica Doimi de Lupis, made a rare public appearance at the annual ball in Paris on 29 November as he escorted Eulalia de Orleans-Borbon, the goddaughter of the former King Juan Carlos of Spain for her societal debut.

The 18-year-old joined his fellow cavaliers for an official portrait on the night, looking ever the distinguished gentleman in a dapper tuxedo and bowtie. The young men stood on a staircase adorned with flowers at the Shangri-La Paris, where the event was hosted.
