Lord Howard's immediate family consists of two sisters. The first is his full sister, Amanda Howard. She married Simon Burton, heir to the Burton clothing company which subsequently became part of the Arcadia group. His half sister, Katharine, currently resides in Spain. Rather exotically her son (and therefore Howard's nephew) is the son of the famous 60's bullfighter Miguel Mateo Salcedo.
