Henry Legge (courtier)

Colonel Sir Henry Charles Legge GCVO (1852–20 June 1924) was a British soldier and courtier.

Legge was the second son of the 5th Earl of Dartmouth and was therefore entitled to the style "The Honourable". He was educated at Eton College and commissioned into the Coldstream Guards in 1872. He retired from the Army in 1899.

He served as an equerry in the Royal Household from 1893 to 1915, when he became Paymaster to the King's Household and an extra equerry to the king. He retired in 1920. He was appointed Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) in 1910 and was promoted to Knight Grand Cross (GCVO) in the 1920 Birthday Honours.
