Henry George Herbert Milles-Lade, 5th Earl Sondes (1 May 1940 – 2 December 1996), styled Viscount Throwley between 1941 and 1970, was a British peer.
As a child, he was a page at the wedding of his aunt and uncle, Nadine McDougall and Prince Andrei Alexandrovich of Russia.
In his pre-teen years he was a page at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II but was later expelled from Eton College for operating gambling books.
He owned racehorses and greyhounds, but his strongest connection with sport was with the football club, Gillingham F.C., where he served as vice-chairman of the board of directors.
[2] His wives included the New York socialite Sharon McCluskey (daughter of Ellen Lehman McCluskey of the Lehman family),[3] whom he married in 1981 and divorced in 1984,[4] and another American whom he married in 1986, Phyllis Kane Schmertz (widow of Robert Schmertz, owner of the Boston Celtics), who survived him and inherited Lees Court in Kent, which she transformed into an agricultural business growing pharmaceutical and biofuel crops.
