Joseph Philip Sebastian Yorke, 10th Earl of Hardwicke (born 3 February 1971) is a British peer.
In 1999, Lord Hardwicke received a suspended two-year prison sentence for supplying cocaine following a sting operation by the News of the World newspaper at the House of Lords.
Journalists had posed as Arab sheiks, with the jury noting the "extreme provocation" used in the incident.
They have one child, Philip Alexander Joseph Yorke, Viscount Royston, who is the heir apparent to the title.
[3] Hardwicke's cousin, Louis Waymouth, a writer for the TV comedy series Armstrong and Miller, is married to Lady Eloise Anson, daughter of the 5th Earl of Lichfield.
