Andrew Charles Stewart

Andrew Charles Stewart (22 April 19071 January 1979) was a British diplomat, Ambassador to Iceland and Libya. He was recalled by Ivor Lucas as "a congenial soul with an 'Indian' background and some Arab experience", and not generally "particularly zealous in the exercise of his official functions". However, "when duty called", according to Lucas, he "could be very effective."

Born in Hull, Charles Stewart was educated at Scarborough College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and entered the British Indian Army in 1927. However, he transferred to the Indian Political Service in 1933, and in 1947 entered the Foreign Service. He was Counsellor to Indonesia from 1950 to 1952, Counsellor to the Netherlands from 1952 to 1954, and British Minister to Korea from 1954 to 1956. As Consul-General to Jerusalem from 1957 to 1959, Stewart was Ambassador to Iceland from 1959 to 1961, and Ambassador to Libya from 1962 to 1963. He was forced to retire in 1963, "the victim of a pernicious Treasury practice": Personal life

Stewart married Emily Caroline Martin (1913-2009) in 1935. Emily was a granddaughter of Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod, the 26th Chief of Clan MacLeod. They had three children - Michael Martin (1937-2010), Roderick James (1939-2026) and Elizabeth Margaret (b.1944).
