Raymond Grant, 11th Baron de Longueuil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond Grant (1924-2004) was the 11th Baron de Longueuil, which is the only French colonial title to be officially recognized by the British Crown. He was the son of Ronald Charles Grant and Ernestine Maude Bowes-Lyon, 1st cousin to the Queen Mother, mother of Queen Elizabeth II.

Raymond had one son Michael Charles Grant (who inherited his title) and four grandchildren: Angela, Rachel, Rebecca and David. He died in Navarrenx, France.

He lived his whole life in the South of France near the Pyrenees where he was an artist, painting under the name of Raymond de Longueuil. The Institute Raymond de Longueuil opened in Navarrenx in 2007. It will house a selection of his works and is intended to serve as a local place of interest for travellers and artists.
