 ::What I think I meant with "outside of the Royal Family" was that he is styled neither as a Majesty nor as a Royal Highness which is sometimes used to define who is a member of the British Royal Family. The reason he was granted the earldom was so that his children with Princess Margaret would be titled so you could perhaps say that he was part of the extended Royal Family. There where other hereditary peers than the above mentioned who were created life peers in 1999 but those where former Leaders of the House of Lords () and not hereditary peers of the first generation.   15:24, 29
