Biography

Tenby is the son of Gwilym Lloyd George, 1st Viscount Tenby, and Edna Gwenfrom Jones. He was educated at Eastbourne College and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he won an exhibition and graduated with a BA degree in 1949.[1] His father was a National Liberal politician who later served as Home Secretary under Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden. The 3rd Viscount Tenby's paternal grandfather was David Lloyd George (later the Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor), Liberal Prime Minister (1916–1922), who previously served as Chancellor of the Exchequer 1908–1915; thus he and his heirs are also in remainder to that earldom. His elder brother, Captain David Lloyd George RA, served in World War II and succeeded as the 2nd Viscount Tenby in 1967; he died unmarried on 4 July 1983 aged 60.

Since 1955, Tenby has been married to Ursula Diana Ethel Medlicott, daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Edward Medlicott DSO.[2] They have two daughters and one son: the Hon. Timothy Lloyd George, Sara[3] and Clare.[4] Tenby stood down from the House of Lords on 1 May 2015.[5] Retirement of peers was enabled following the House of Lords Reform Act 2014: Tenby's retirement as a crossbench hereditary peer triggered a by-election, which was won by Jeffrey Evans, 4th Baron Mountevans.
