George Charles Bingham, 8th Earl of Lucan (born 21 September 1967), styled Lord Bingham until 2016, is a British hereditary peer . He is a paternal third cousin of Diana, Princess of Wales .
Background and early life [ edit ] George Charles Bingham, 8th Earl of Lucan, was born on 21 September 1967, the only son of Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan , and Veronica Mary Duncan.[2]
He is the thrice great-grandson of Field Marshal The 3rd Earl of Lucan , who is remembered for his role in the Crimean War , leading the cavalry division which included the Heavy Brigade and the Light Brigade, the latter of which was involved in the Charge of the Light Brigade . The Binghams are an Anglo-Irish aristocratic family.[2]
Lucan was educated at Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge . He married Anne-Sofie Foghsgaard (known as "Fie"; b. 1977) at St George's, Hanover Square , London, on 14 January 2016. She is the daughter of Danish industrialist Lars Foghsgaard, the former owner of the Spott Estate in East Lothian , Scotland.[2] [2] [3] [4]
Lord Lucan has two sisters: Lady Frances Bingham (born 1964), and Lady Camilla Bloch KC (born 1970), who married Michael Bloch KC in 1998.[2]
Lucan's father, the 7th Earl, disappeared in November 1974 after the murder of the family nanny Sandra Rivett . The 8th Earl and his sister Lady Camilla are not convinced that their father was responsible for Sandra Rivett's death.[5] [6]
Succession [ edit ] In the 1990s the Probate Registry (a division of the High Court of Justice ) gave leave for the 7th Earl to be sworn dead by his trustees, and the family was granted probate over his estate in 1999, but no death certificate was issued.[7] Metropolitan Police , applied for his father to be declared dead for House of Lords purposes. The Lord Chancellor , Lord Irvine of Lairg , decided he was unable to issue Bingham his writ of summons to the Lords without a death certificate for his father.[8] Presumption of Death Act 2013 came into effect,[9] General Register Office (GRO), which issues death certificates; in this case, an application to the High Court was necessary.[10] [11] [12]
On 23 May 2016, Lucan formally petitioned the House of Lords to have his succession recognised.[13] House of Lords Act 1999 by virtue of his subsidiary title Baron Bingham in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .[14] [15] [update] internal Lords by-elections for replacing of the 92 electable hereditary representative peers (upon their retirements or deaths).
