Frederick Winston Furneaux-smith, 2Nd Earl Of Birkenhead

Frederick Winston Furneaux-Smith, 2nd Earl of Birkenhead (December 1907-1975) was a British historian. He is best known for writing a controversial biography of Rudyard Kipling that was suppressed by the Kipling family for many years. Smith was educated at Eton and Christ Church and inherited his father's titles in 1930. In 1935 he married Sheila Berry, the daughter of Lord Camrose. The couple had a son, Frederick, in 1936. Smith served as parliamentary private secretary to Lord Halifax (1938-39), and as lord-in-waiting to King George VI (1938-40 and 1951-52) and Queen Elizabeth II (1952-55).
