Claude George BOWESLYON, EARL OF STRATH

                   Birth Surety:2
Note: Although Lady Elizabeth spent much of her childhood at Glamis she was not born there. Her younger daughter, Princess Margaret Rose, Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret Countess of Snowdon, was born at Glamis in 1930 and was the first royal baby in direct line to the English throne to be born in Scotland for 300 years. This is proudly remembered at Glamis. At the Abdication of King Edward VIII the Duke of York ascended the Throne as George VI with the Duchess as Queen Consort and, ultimately, H.M. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The eldest of the Queen Mother's six brothers succeeded as 15th Earl, served in the Great War in the Black Watch and married a daughter of the 10th Duke of Leeds. His elder son, John, Master of Glamis, was killed in action in the Second World War while serving in the Scots Guards and the 15th Earl was succeeded by his surviving son, Timothy, who also served in the Black Watch. The present Lord Strathmore is married to Isobel, daughter of Captain A. Weatherall, and they have three sons: the heir Simon Patrick, Lord Glamis, the Hon. John Fergus Bowes Lyon and the Hon. George Norman Bowes Lyon.
