William Legge, 10th Earl of Dartmouth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Legge, 10th Earl of Dartmouth (born 23 September 1949) is a British peer.

He is the eldest son of Gerald Legge, 9th Earl of Dartmouth and his first wife, Raine McCorquodale, the daughter of Barbara Cartland.

William had a seat in the House of Lords until the Labour Party's reforms, which eliminated nearly all hereditary members. He recently announced he was leaving the Conservative Party in favour of the United Kingdom Independence Party over concerns about Tory leader David Cameron's policies.[1]
