HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY, Lt-Cdr Sir (John) Miles 4th Bt RNR (1929-2019)

[Richard R]

From the Telegraph of 4 March 2019: HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY Sir (John) Miles Huntington-Whiteley 4th Baronet, Lt Cdr RNR, VRD and Two Clasps, died suddenly 19th February, aged 89. Beloved husband of Victoria and father of Louise, Beatrice and Leopold, and grandfather to four boys. Funeral Service will be held at 12 noon on Thursday 21st March 2019 at Chelsea Old Church, Old Church Street, London. No black to be worn. No flowers but donations, if desired, to the RNLI c/o Chelsea Funeral Directors, 260b Fulham Road, London....

He was s of Sir Herbert Maurice HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY 2nd Bt (1896-1975) and Lady Pamela Margaret BALDWIN (1897-1976), d of the Prime Minister 1st Earl BALDWIN OF BEWDLEY (1867-1947). He m 1960 Viktoria Adelheid Clementine Luise Gräfin zu Castell-Rüdenhausen (b 1935) d of Freidrich Wolfgang Graf zu Castell-Rüdenhausen (1906-40)) and (as her 1st h) Caroline Matilde Ludwige Eleanor Auguste Beatrice Prinzessin von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (1912-83), d of 2nd Duke of ALBANY (1884-1954, gs of Queen VICTORIA, Empress of India (1819-1901)). I shan't rehash all the royal connections here, as they are easily available elsewhere online. They had a son and two daus. His son succeeds him:

[Sir] Leopold Maurice HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY [5th Bt] (b 1965). Has yet to establish his claim and appear on the Official Roll of the Baronetage.

I don't have access to up to date books (I'm in the office), so the following is open to correction:

?He m c2007 Laurence M, d of Jean Marc GUERRINI of Toulon, France, no issue. The hp is Charles Andrew HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY (b 1957) who is m with a son and two daus.

The new Bt's engagement was posted here on 21 Sept 2007: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/peerage-news/guerrini%7Csort:date/peerage-news/qJaY1uTiwms/avEQeBwlM14J

I agree that it would be unnecessary to rehash all the royal connections, but it is worth noting that his wife is first cousin to the King of Sweden.

The new hp, Charles Andrew Huntington-Whiteley, is the father of actress/model Rosie.

Charles' son (Rosie's brother) Toby Charles, b. 1989, is next in the line of succession.
