Charles Wood, 3rd Earl of Halifax

Charles Edward Peter Neil Wood, 3rd Earl of Halifax (born 14 March 1944) is a British Peer and a grandson of E. F. L. Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax, a former Viceroy of India and Foreign Secretary for the Commonwealth of Nations.

Life

He is the eldest son of the British politician Charles Wood, 2nd Earl of Halifax and Ruth Primrose, the daughter of the Liberal politician Neil Primrose and granddaughter of Prime Minister Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery. He became the third Earl of Halifax after the death of his father on 19 March 1980.

In 1976, Lord Halifax married Camilla Younger. Her first husband, Richard Parker Bowles, is the brother of Andrew Parker Bowles, himself the first husband of the current Duchess of Cornwall; Lady Halifax and the Duchess were therefore once sisters-in-law.^[1]

Lord and Lady Halifax together have two children, a son and a daughter:

• James Charles Wood, Lord Irwin (born 24 August 1977), heir apparent to the earldom
• Lady Joanna Victoria Wood (born 15 Jan 1980)

From her first marriage Lady Halifax also has a daughter, named Emma Parker Bowles (born 1974).
