Beauclerk coat of arms

Ralph Charles Beauclerk MBE (1917–2007), 6th Marquis de Valero de Urría, was in remainder to the dukedom of Saint Albans.[1]

Both of Beauclerk's parents were of aristocratic descent. His father was a British ex-pat engineer in Argentina William Topham Sidney Beauclerk (1864–1950), whose great-grandfather was Topham Beauclerk (by Lady Diana Beauclerk), who was in turn a grandson of the 1st Duke of St Albans.[2] His mother was Lola, Countess de Peñalver (1881–1972), only surviving child of Enrique, 6th Marquis de Arcos.[2]

Educated at Downside School and then in France,[2] Captain Beauclerk served as a military intelligence officer during World War II.[3]

After distinguished military service, he worked overseas as a merchant banker including in Hong Kong and Shanghai. In 1989, he inherited one of his Spanish family marquessates, that of Valero de Urría;[4] a relation of his is Esther Koplowitz, now 8th Marquesa de Casa Peñalver.
