Charles Beauclerk, 13th Duke of St Albans

Charles Frederick Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk, 13th Duke of St Albans, OBE (16 August 1915 – 8 October 1988) was a British soldier and hereditary peer.

St Albans was the son of Aubrey Topham de Vere Beauclerk (1850–1933) and Gwendolen Loftus Hughes (1880–1958).

He succeeded to the dukedom and other titles upon the death of his cousin Osborne Beauclerk, 12th Duke of St Albans in 1964, after which he left the Central Office of Information.

[2] He attempted to rebuild a family fortune through a series of other failed ventures, which led to losses and an accusation of mishandling of share dealing in relation to the company Grendon Securities.

[1] As Hereditary Grand Falconer of England, the Duke had an ancient entitlement to an annual side of venison from deer culled in the Royal Parks,[1] which he gave to charity.
