Biography

An Anglo-Irish aristocrat, he is the son of The 3rd Earl of Iveagh and Miranda Guinness. He is usually known to his family and friends as Edward, or Ned, Iveagh.[1]

Becoming Earl of Iveagh from his father's death, he sat regularly as a hereditary peer in the House of Lords from 18 June 1992.[2] He was one of the youngest peers, and did not join a political party but sat as a crossbencher.[1] On 11 November 1999, he was among the bulk of peers who lost all political power on the removal of all but 92 from the Lords with the House of Lords Act 1999.[2]

On 27 October 2001, the nobleman married interior designer Clare Hazell, at St Andrew's and St Patrick's, Elveden, Suffolk.[3][4]

Lord Iveagh lives on the 22,486-acre (91 km2) Elveden Estate in Suffolk, England (2.6% of the county).[1] The land is productive in the modern global economy as a one-unit arable farm for root vegetables most seasons, growing cereals as a break crop. Approximately 4,000 acres (16 km2) is forest.

Iveagh sold Farmleigh, the family's Irish home and land, to the Irish Government in 1999 for the market price of €29.2m (£18.9m).

gollark: So if you have a scatterplot of appearance goodness/personality goodness, what would otherwise be an ellipse of uncorrelation has the bottom left removed and it looks negatively correlated.
gollark: Those things are quite possibly entirely uncorrelated, but you probably only notice/consider people where the sum of appearance and personality is above some threshold.
