David Ogilvy, 13th Earl of Airlie, has died at the age of 97. He served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household from 1984-1997. His younger brother was Angus Ogilvy, late husband of Princess Alexandra.
Through comon descent from their great-grandfather Thomas Coke Earl of Leicester (†1909) David and Angus were cousins of Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah (via her mother) and his son-in-law Jack Brooksbank.
Through shared descent from their great-great-great-grandfather William Keppel Earl of Albemarle (†1849) David and Angus were cousins of Queen Camilla.
A bit more distantly in their descent from King Charles II, they were also cousins to the late Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester, the late Diana Princess of Wales, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah (via her father), Lord Max Percy (married Nora Princess zu Oettingen-Spielberg) and Alex Grubb (married to Teresa Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein).
