Sonia Rosemary Keppel Henry Edward Cubitt, 4th Baron Ashcombe (31 March 1924 – 4 December 2013), was a British hereditary peer. He was the son of Roland Cubitt, 3rd Baron Ashcombe, and Sonia Rosemary Keppel, and the uncle and godfather of Queen Camilla.

Education and career

Educated at Eton College, he served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the War he became chairman of Holland, Hannen & Cubitts, the family construction firm. He was the London-based Consul-General for Monaco from 1961 to 1968.

Family

He was married three times without issue:

Ghislaine (née Dresselhuys), Countess of Caledon (ex-wife of the 6th Earl of Caledon), was married to Lord Ashcombe from 1955 to 1968. In 1972, she married Adrian Foley, 8th Baron Foley.
Virginia Carington (daughter of Peter Carington, 6th Baron Carrington) was married to Lord Ashcombe from 1973 to 1979. She was a special aide to the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Mary Elizabeth Dent-Brocklehurst (née Chipps), the mother of two children from her previous marriage to the late Mark Dent-Brocklehurst, married Lord Ashcombe in 1979 at Sudeley Castle, which she partially owns with her children. The medieval fortress, situated in the Cotswolds, is her home.

Lord Ashcombe's first cousin once removed, Mark Cubitt, born in 1964, is now the 5th Baron Ashcombe.
