George

Charles Henry Victor Paget, 7th Marquess of 1922 – 13 July 2013), styled Earl of Uxbridge until

1947, was a British peer. He was the

son of Charles

Paget, 6th Marquess of Anglesey and Lady Victoria Manners, the

eldest daughter of the 8th Duke of Rutland,

and was baptised with George V and Mary of Teck as his godparents. He was the brother

of Lady Rose McLaren and

the nephew of Lady Diana Cooper. He was

educated at Wixenford School and Eton College. He gained the rank of major in the service

of the Royal Horse Guards (Blues)

and fought in the Second World War. He used

the courtesy title of Earl of Uxbridge until he succeeded to

the marquessate in 1947. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant of

Anglesey in 1960, Vice-Lieutenant of Anglesey between 1960 and

1983 and Lord Lieutenant of Gwynedd between

1983 and 1989. He was the honorary president of the Crimean War Research

1814–1817 (1955), consisting of the edited correspondence between the

first Marquess’s sister in England and his nieces; One Leg: The Life

and Letters of 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1961), a biography of his

ancestor; Sergeant Pearman's Memoirs (1968); and A

History of the British Cavalry, Volumes I–VIII, which has been described as

"the definitive history" of this arm. The Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies awarded

him the Chesney Gold Medal for it in 1996. Lord Anglesey presented the historic

family home, Plas Newydd on the

island of Anglesey, to the National Trust in 1976, with 169 acres of surrounding

estate, and it has been open to the public since July 1 of that year. Lord

Llanedwen. On 14 June 2014, a public memorial service was held for

him in Bangor Cathedral.
