- Henry Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon
Henry George Alfred Marius Victor Francis Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon(7 November 1898 - 1987) was a British peer, the son of George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon and Almina Wombwell.
Styled Baron Porchester from birth, he inherited the Earldom of Carnarvon on the death of his father – who was famously funding Howard Carter (archaeologist) when he discovered the tomb of Tutenkhamun – in 1922.
Henry Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon was married twice:
* 1) Anne Catherine Tredick Wendell, by whom he had issue, including the 7th Earl.
* 2) The ballet dancer and choreographer, Tilly Losch
His obituary, composed by Hugh Massingberd, famously described him as a "most uncompromisingly direct ladies' man". [" [http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article340477.ece My Mentor: Andrew McKie On Hugh Massingberd] ", "The Independent", 23 January 2006]
