Lady Alice Egerton

Lady Alice Egerton

Lady Alice Egerton CVO (7 August 1923–7 October 1977) was a British courtier.

Lady Alice was the youngest child of the 4th Earl of Ellesmere and his wife, Violet. In 1949, she replaced her sister, Lady Margaret Colville, as a Lady-in-Waiting to the then Princess Elizabeth and became a Woman of the Bedchamber in 1953. Lady Alice never married and held a continuous time of service for the next twenty-four years.

In 1977, she was found dead in her home near Flodden Field in Northumberland; the suicide was believed to have been brought about by Lady Alice having been dismissed from the Royal Household.
