Lady Emily was one of ten children born to Richard Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe and Lady Harriet Georgiana Brudenell, daughter of the 6th Earl of Cardigan.[1]
Lady Emily served as Woman of the Bedchamber to Alexandra of Denmark, who was England's longest serving Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901.[3] With the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, her husband succeeded to the throne as King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, and Alexandra became Queen Consort.[4] Lady Emily was re-appointed a Woman of the bedchamber to the Queen,[5] and served as such until 1907.
Lady Emily married on 5 February 1856 at Congerston, Leicestershire, becoming the second wife of Colonel Sir Robert Nigel Fitzhardinge Kingscote,[6] whose first wife had died in childbirth. They had two sons and two daughters:[7]
Lady Emily died on 9 December 1910 at 74. (Her husband had predeceased her on 22 September 1908.) They are both buried in St. John the Baptist Churchyard, Kingscote, Cotswold District, Gloucestershire, England.[2]
