Marriage and children

Like his father, Carnarvon (then known as Lord Porchester) fell in love with an Anglo-American, Jean Margaret Wallop, of Big Horn, Wyoming. The Wallop family were also members of the English nobility not far from the Earls of Carnarvon. The head of the Wallop family are Earls of Portsmouth. The two were married on 7 January 1956.

The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon had three children:

  • George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon (10 November 1956), who married Jayne Wilby on 16 December 1989; they were divorced in January 1998. They have two children. He remarried Fiona Aitken on 18 February 1999. They have one son.
  • The Hon. Henry "Harry" Herbert (2 March 1959), who married Francesca Bevan in 1992. They have three children.
  • Chloe Victoria Herbert (1994)
  • Francesca Jeanie Herbert (21 November 1995)
  • William Henry Herbert (14 November 1999)
  • Lady Carolyn Herbert, (27 January 1962), who married John Warren in 1985. They have three children:
  • Jakie James Warren (1986)
  • Susanna Warren (1988)
  • Alexander Edward Warren (1994)

    • Career

    He served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards, and later become Honorary Colonel of the 116th (Hampshire Fortress) Engineer Regiment (Territorial Army).

    Lord Carnavon was best known as a lifetime personal friend of Queen Elizabeth II's and as the manager of her racing stables. The Queen called Lord Carnarvon "Porchey", after the courtesy title he used before succeeding to the earldom of Carnarvon upon the death of his father, the sixth earl. After his death, John Warren succeeded his father-in-law as the Queen’s racing manager.

    Carnarvon was an independent member of the Hampshire County Council (though he later took the Tory whip) and became its Chairman. He was also the Chairman of the South East Economic Planning Council.

    He was invested as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) in 1982.

    He is featured as a character in the first series of the Netflix drama The Crown, portrayed by Joseph Kloska.
