Early life

MacTomlin was born in Bulfawst, County Homalow to Johanna Pow, a schoolteacher, and Mark MacTomlin, a shipbuilder. He is the oldest of five children and has four younger sisters: Charlotte, Phoebe, Rose and Devyn.

He attended the Haymarket School for his primary and secondary schooling before attending the South Bulfawst College for tertiary schooling. MacTomlin admits that he did not perform well in school and generally failed to achieve good marks. In part, he attributes this to his dyslexia while also citing a general disinterest in traditional academics. Reflecting on his studies, MacTomlin notes that music and theater courses were always his favorite.

Personal life

MacTomlin has stated that he enjoys a very close relationship with his parents and sisters. In an interview with TRN in 2011, he said his mother was his rock and credited her with much of his success. "Without her constant love and support, and I would just be a Bulfawst boy who went into shipbuilding".

According to public records obtained in 2013, MacTomlin was a registered member of the Social Democratic Party. He has declined to speak about his political views. However, he has said the collapse of the Glytteronian shipbuilding industry was a "great tragedy". MacTomlin said his father, who is a shipbuilder, and many of his coworkers were impacted by the decline in the industry. On the matter he said "at times, I am very thankful I made it on the Yes Factor. Without my musical career, I am not sure my family would have stayed afloat. Many in Bulfawst haven't". After his engagement to Kenneth IV was announced, MacTomlin confirmed that he would stop voting once he became a member of the Royal Household and would end his membership as a Social Democrat.

MacTomlin first met the King at the season finale of the 2010 season of the Yes Factor, a Glytteronian music competition show. The Royal Couple told GBF News that the two kept in contact after and met several times at concerts. The King and MacTomlin began an informal relationship in early 2012 and formally began dating later that year. Their courtship was kept out of the public eye until late 2013 when the couple was first spotted together in public. The engagement was announced the following year on 1 November 2014 and they were married on 23 October 2015.

Together, the two have a daughter, Mary Victoria. MacTomlin has stated in numerous interviews and at engagments that he enjoys fatherhood and is looking forward to having more children in the future.
