Michael Edward Abney-Hastings was descended from a very old and noble family.
He grew up in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, U.K. and was educated at Ampleforth College in Yorkshire.
Aged 18, Michael emigrated to Australia in 1960, where he married his first wife in 1969. They lived in the small community of Jerilderie, and had five children together.
A rice researcher by profession, He was also the councellor of the Jerilderie Shire.
He was a committed Australian republican, lived a very private life, and refrained from using his titles publicly.
Michael was widowed, but eventually remarried. He was a devoted father, grandfather, stepfather, and step-grandfather.
As well as 14th Earl of Loudoun, he also inherited the courtesy title of 'Lord Mauchline' after his mother's death.
Michael is most noted for the BBC documentary 'Britain's Real Monarch'. (which can be viewed on youtube.) This well documented and extremely interesting documentary suggests Michael's claim as a pretender to the English throne, due to his descent from George Plantagenet, and the alleged illegitimacy of King Edward IV.
