Alexander Frederick DouglasHome, Baron Home of the Hirsel KT PC was a British Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister from October 1963 to October 1964. He is notable for being the last Prime Minister to hold office while being a member of the House of Lords, before renouncing his peerage and taking up a seat in the House of Commons for the remainder of his premiership. His reputation, however, rests more on his two spells as the UKs foreign secretary than on his brief premiership.
DouglasHome was born in Mayfair, London, the first of seven children of Lord Dunglass and his wife, the Lady Lilian Lambton . The boys first name was customarily abbreviated to Alec. Among the couples younger children was the playwright William DouglasHome.
