Lord Max Percy

Lord Max Ralph Percy (born 26 May 1990) is a British aristocrat, investment analyst and landowner. He is the younger son of Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland.

Early life and family Percy was born on 26 May 1990 to the then Lord Ralph Percy and his wife, Jane Richard. In 1995, his father succeeded his childless brother as 12th Duke of Northumberland. Percy's mother, the Duchess of Northumberland, was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland in 2009. Percy lived at a farmhouse in Northumberland until his father became the duke, when the family moved to Alnwick Castle, Northumberland and Syon House, West London. It is the largest landsale to take place in England in three decades. It includes twenty-three residential properties, the Crown and Thistle Pub in Alwinton, twelve farms, a caravan site, a river for trout and salmon fishing, 1,800 acres of woodland and the Simonside Hills. The rent from the estate's farms brings in an annual income of £283,000 a year.

Percy's decision to sell Rothbury was met with protest by some residents of the estate, who argue that it should be given "back to the people". They have two children: Romy Jane Percy, who was born on 31 July 2019 in Munich, and another daughter, who was born in December 2022.

He is close to the British royal family and attended the wedding of Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton in 2011 and the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank in 2018.
