Reginald Herbert, 15th Earl of Pembroke

Reginald Herbert, 15th Earl of Pembroke and 12th Earl of Montgomery DL (8 September 1880 – 13 January 1960)[1] was a British peer. His parents were Sidney Herbert, 14th Earl of Pembroke and Beatrix Louisa Lambton, daughter of George Lambton, 2nd Earl of Durham. He descends from a Russian aristocratic family, the Woronzows, through the marriage of Catherine Woronzow to George Augustus Herbert, 11th Earl of Pembroke.[2][3]

Pembroke married Lady Beatrice Eleanor Paget (of the marquesses of Anglesey) on 21 January 1904 and they had four children:

• Lady Patricia Herbert (12 November 1904 – 19 March 1994);
• Sidney, Lord Herbert (9 January 1906 – 16 March 1969);
• The Honourable David Herbert (3 October 1908 – 3 April 1995); and
• Lt.-Col Hon. Anthony Edward George Herbert (12 September 1911 – 22 August 1971)

Pembroke was succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son.[4][5]

During World War II he worked at the Foreign Office, in which capacity he was the addressee of an often-reproduced humorous note sent by Sir Archibald Clark Kerr (then British Ambassador to Moscow).[6]
