Biographical history
Sir Henry Streatfeild was born on January 4, 1857, in Chiddingstone, Kent, England, son of Lt. Colonel Henry Dorrien Streatfeild (1825-1889).
He was an English courtier and British Army officer. He attended Eton College before entering the Grenadier Guards in 1876. In 1883, he was appointed an aide-de-camp to the Governor-General of Canada, the 5th Marquess of Landsdowne. When the Marquess became Viceroy of India in 1885, Streatfeild followed him as his military secretary. He also served as aide-de-camp to the General Governor of Ireland, the 2nd Baron Houghton (1892), Field Marshal Lord Roberts (1895-1899), and Lieutenant-General Lord Methuen (1899-1901). In 1908, Streatfeild was appointed Equerry to King Edward VII. In 1910, his successor George V appointed him Private Secretary to his mother HM Queen Alexandra, a position he held until 1925. During the First World War, he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the Grenadier Guards (1914–1919). He was appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (1902), promoted Commander in 1912, Knight Commander in 1916, and Knight Grand Cross in the 1926 New Year Honours. He was also appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (1911) and a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (1918).
In 1885, he married Florence Beatrice Anson (1860–1946). He died on July 26, 1938, in Chiddingstone, Kent, England.
