Francis David Ormsby-Gore, 6th Baron Harlech (13 March 1954 – 1 February 2016), was a peer in the United Kingdom.

Early life

Lord Harlech was born in 1954, the fifth child and second son of William Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech, and his wife Sylvia Thomas. He was educated at Worth School. His elder brother Julian Ormsby-Gore committed suicide in 1974, making Ormsby-Gore the heir to the title of Lord Harlech. He eventually succeeded his father as the 6th Baron Harlech in 1985 and sat as a Conservative member of the House of Lords until the removal of the hereditary peers in 1999.

Harlech lived at Brogyntyn near Oswestry and later at The Mount, Racecourse Road, Oswestry.

Personal life

In 1986, Harlech married Amanda Jane Grieve, who studied English at Oxford. She was a daughter of solicitor Alan Grieve, a director of the Jerwood Foundation, and his first wife, Anne Dulake.[1] Before Lord and Lady Harlech were divorced on 31 August 1998,[2] they had a son and a daughter:

Jasset David Cody Ormsby-Gore, 7th Baron Harlech (born 1 July 1986), who studied at Central St Martins.[3]
Hon. Tallulah Sylvia Maria Ormsby-Gore (born 16 May 1988).

He died of natural causes on 1 February 2016.[4] A North Wales Police spokesman said, "North Wales Police were called to an address at Talsarnau near Harlech at 11.40am on Monday, following reports of the sudden death of a man in his 60s."
