He's secretly posh.
His ancestors include Sir Richard Harington, the 12th Baronet Harington, Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, and Sir William Molesworth, 6th Baronet.

His real name is Christopher, but nobody calls him that.
"I was called Kit from day one, really, I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11. I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you’re in—how clever you are. I put down 'Kit Harington' and they looked at me like I was completely stupid, and they said, 'No, you’re Christopher Harington, I’m afraid.' It was only then I learnt my actual name. That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that’s who I was. I’m not really a Chris.”
