Arthur Corbett, 3rd Baron Rowallan

Captain Arthur Cameron Corbett, 3rd Baron Rowallan (17 December 1919 – 24 June 1993), was a British aristocrat most notable for successfully having his second marriage annulled in 1970 on the grounds that his wife April Ashley, a transgender woman, was legally male.

Arthur Cameron Corbett was born on 17 December 1919 to Thomas Godfrey Polson Corbett, 2nd Baron Rowallan (1895–1977), who was Chief Scout of the British Commonwealth and Empire and served as Governor of Tasmania from 1959 to 1963,[3] and Gwyn Melvyn Grimond, daughter of Joseph Bowman Grimond of St Andrews, Fife.

In November 1960, Corbett met April Ashley, a successful fashion model, who appeared in Vogue (photographed by David Bailey[5]) and in the film The Road to Hong Kong, which starred Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

The annulment was granted in 1970 on the grounds that Ashley was male, even though Corbett knew about her history when they married.

[5] Corbett later moved to Marbella, Spain, where he died after undergoing surgery on his leg for gangrene on 24 June 1993, at the age of 73.
