Charles Greville, 3rd Baron Greville

Charles Beresford Fulke Greville, 3rd Baron Greville (3 March 1871 – 14 May 1952) was a British soldier and aristocrat.

Early life He was the second son of four children born to the writer Lady Beatrice Violet Graham and the politician Algernon Greville, 2nd Baron Greville, who married in 1863. His older brother, Ronald Greville, died in 1908. His younger sisters were Hon. Camilla Dagmar Violet Greville (wife of Hon. Alistair George Hay, son of the Earl of Kinnoull) and Hon. Lilian Veronique Greville (wife of Cmdr. Herbert Victor Creer). His father was a Liberal MP for Westmeath who was appointed a Groom in Waiting to Queen Victoria in 1869 and, from 1873 to 1874, served as a Lord of the Treasury in Gladstone's government.

Personal life In February 1909, his mother, Lady Violet (who died in 1932), wrote about the decadence of British society, blaming American brides. "'This,' she writes, 'has struck at the root of our family life and introduced a new element into the simplicity and dignity of old-fashioned households. The rich American has no traditions; no prejudices in favour of old customs, duties, or responsibilities; she is essentially irresponsible, and measures everything by one standard only--money. The result permeating through all classes has considerably increased luxury and made for independence. It has, far more than any suffragette movement, given liberty to women to do as they like; for the American regards her husband as an inferior being, made to work for her, and to lavish pleasures and gifts as a reward for her beauty and sprightliness.'"

Nine months later on 24 November 1909, Charles was married to American heiress Olive (née Grace) Kerr (1876–1959), at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge. Olive was more than twenty minutes late to the wedding due to the breakdown of her car on the way to the ceremony. The wedding was in London, followed by a large reception at the Carlton House Terrace home of Freddie Guest and his American wife, Amy Phipps (a daughter of Henry Phipps Jr.), which the Greville's had rented for a year. The guests at the wedding included Prince Alexander of Teck.

Together, Olive and Charles were the parents of: who died unmarried.
