Notes for Henry Herbert KITCHENER, 3RD EARL KITCHENER OF KARTOUM AND OF BROOME TD DL
Major Henry Herbert Kitchener, 3rd Earl Kitchener DL TD (born 24 February 1919), styled Viscount Broome from 1928 to 1937, is a British peer. He is the son of Captain Henry Franklin Chevallier Kitchener, Viscount Broome, only son of Henry Kitchener, 2nd Earl Kitchener. His great-uncle was the renowned military commander Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener.

He was educated at Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge. He succeeded his grandfather in the earldom on 27 March 1937. In 1937, he was a Page of Honour to King George VI at his coronation. Lord Kitchener is also a retired Major in the Royal Corps of Signals and has been President of the Lord Kitchener National Memorial Fund since 1950. In 1972, he served as Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. Like his uncle before him, he is an English Freemason. In 2005, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Royal Confraternity of Sao Teotonio.

Lord Kitchener is unmarried, and, as there is no one in remainder, the title Earl Kitchener will become extinct on his death. His niece, Emma Joy Kitchener, is a lady-in-waiting to Princess Michael of Kent and the wife of actor Julian Fellowes.
