HenryHerbert 7thEarlofCarnarvon

British peer and horse racing manager to Queen Elizabeth II from 1969. He was the only son of The 6th Earl of Carnarvon by his wife Catherine Wendell. From his birth to September 1987, he was known by the courtesy title Lord Porchester. He owned the family seat, Highclere Castle. Lord Carnarvon had been a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth II since their teenage years. The Queen often visited Highclere Castle and – like his other friends – called him Porchey, after his Lord Porchester courtesy title. In 1969 Carnarvon was appointed the Queens racing manager, a position he held until his death in 2001. On 7 January 1956, Carnarvon (then known by his courtesy title Lord Porchester) married Jean Margaret Wallop (1935–2019) of Big Horn, Wyoming, in New York City. She was a granddaughter of Oliver Wallop, 8th Earl of Portsmouth. Carnarvons father, the 6th Earl had also married an Anglo-American. The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon had three children. The Earl of Carnarvon died on 11 September 2001 aged 77, after a heart attack. He was succeeded as the Queens racing manager by his son-in-law John Warren, a former stable boy who had worked at the Highclere Stud and married his daughter Carolyn.
