While he seems very far related to the Duke of Norfolk, it is noteworthy that his grandfather is the younger brother of the 17th Duke of Norfolk (which is why he himself was styled LORD upon his brother taking up the dukedom). The current duke is his father's cousin.

As his grandfather was the second son, their 'line' comes straight after the former duke's children and grandchildren. As his father is the third son and each of his elder uncles has a son, he is third of his generation in that part of the family tree.

Line of succession to the Dukedom of Norfolk:
1. Henry Miles, Earl of Arundel and Surrey (son of Duke)
2. Thomas Jack (second son of Duke)
3. Philip (third son of Duke)
4. Gerald Bernard (younger brother of Duke)
5. Arthur (nephew of Duke)
6. Thomas Michael (cousin of Duke - son of Michael/uncle of GH)
7. Edward Michael (son of Thomas/cousin of GH)
8. Richard Andrew (cousin of Duke - son of Michael/uncle of GH)
9. Frederick Peter (son of Richard/cousin of GH)
10. Henry Julian Nicholas (cousin of Duke - son of Michael/father of GH)
11. George Henry (son of Henry)
12. Luke Valentine (son of Henry/brother of GH)
13. Milo Nicholas (son of Henry/brother of GH)
14. Alexander Rupert (cousin of Duke - son of Michael/uncle of GH)
15. William John (son of Alexander/cousin of GH)
16. Edmund Alexander (son of Alexander/cousin of GH)
17. Hugo Michael (son of Alexander/cousin of GH)
