Angus Ogilvy wasknightedin 1988 (when Princess Alexandra assumed the style of The Hon. Lady Ogilvy), later being sworn of thePrivy Councilin 1997. Princess Alexandra and Angus Ogilvy had two children, James and Marina, and four grandchildren:
- James Robert Bruce Ogilvy(born 29 February 1964 inThatched House Lodge,Richmond Park,Surrey). He married Julia Caroline Rawlinson on 30 July 1988 at St Mary's Church in Saffron Walden, Essex. The couple have issue:[14]
