I hope he is alright....strokes are rather serious. May he get well soon.
 
I hope he recovers as well, and quickly. His photographs are truly works of art.
 
I hope he's ok. Doesn't sound too great but he'll be in good hands.
 
He has his wife, Lady Eloise, and Viscount Anson as support as well.

I always liked him, no airs about him whatsoever.
 
Here's one:

How sad hearing that, my prayers send for his family during these hard times, wish our Father God rest him in peace.
 
Merge

Since we had two threads: "Lord Lichfield Seriously Ill", and, unfortunately, "Lord Lichfield Has Died", I have merged the two.
 
My condolences to Lord Lichfield's family, particulary to Her Majesty The Queen. I knew that the Union Jack was flying at half-mast, but I just assumed that was for Armistice's Day.
 
Can anyone find the photographs Lord Lichfield took of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1967?
 
Lord Lichfield was a photographic genius. His portrait of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh is up on my wall - the one he took for the Jubilee. One of his best. Has anyone got the one he took of Margaret Thatcher at 80?
 
Another article from HELLOhttp://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2005/11/11/lordlichfield/
 
The father of a friend of mine was a photographer in the UK and a good friend of Lord Lichfield. My friend says that he was a really nice man. It is such a shame and he was relatively young.
 
What a wonderful man and photographer.

My sympathies go out to his three children, Tom - 6th Earl of Lichfield now, and Ladies Rose and Eloise.

He truly had a talent and passion for his vocation and will be missed....
 
Lord Lichfield was a very talented photographer and a very charming man but I always was uncomfortable with his attitudes towards women. He seemed to regard women as pretty jewels to look at rather than full three dimensional human beings.

He also had affairs with several common women while reserving marriage for ladies of the aristocracy. I have no problem with marrying within your class but I do have a problem with having one set of criteria for women you have romantic relationships with and another for women you marry.
 
Quick question...the Hellomagazine article said his mother was Princess Anne of Denmark. I am not familiar with her...can someone provide me with some info. Thanks!
 
Anne Bowes-Lyon was a member of the Queen Mother's family. Her first husband was Lord Lichfield's father. She later married Prince George of Denmark.
 
Anne Ferelith Bowes-Lyon was the daughter of Hon. John Herbert Bowes-Lyon (of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne) and Hon. Fenella Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis (of the Baron's Clinton).

She was born on 4 December 1917 at Washington DC, USA. She married Major Thomas William Arnold Anson, Viscount Anson (son of Thomas Edward Anson, 4th Earl of Lichfield and Evelyn Maud Keppel) on 28 April 1938. She and Major Thomas William Arnold Anson, Viscount Anson were divorced in 1948.

She married HH Georg, Prince of Denmark, son of HRH Axel, Prince of Denmark and HRH Margareta, Princess of Sweden, on 16 September 1950 at Glamis Castle, Glamis, Angus, Scotland.

Princess Anne of Denmark was awarded the Order of the Elephant by Queen Margrethe 2 on the 16th of April 1974.

Princess Anne died on 26 September 1980 at age 62 at London, England, UK.
