Fleetwood Edwards

Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Fleetwood Isham Edwards GCVO KCB ISO (21 April 1842 – 14 August 1910) was Keeper of the Privy Purse to Queen Victoria from 1895 to 1901.

[5] Edwards served as a Groom-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria from 1880 and 1895, whereupon he became Keeper of the Privy Purse until her death in 1901.

[6] Edwards was blamed for not contacting London Zoo, and the animal had to be buried at Windsor Castle.

[10] In 1866, he made his only first-class cricket appearance, playing for I Zingari, a club he likely joined due to his close links with the Ponsonby family; many of whom he worked alongside at court.

During this match, against a Gentlemen of the South including W. G. Grace and two of his brothers, Edwards top-scored for I Zingari in the first-innings, remaining 27 not out at the close of the innings.
