Lady Emily was one of ten children born to Richard Curzon-Howe, 1st Earl Howe and Lady Harriet Georgiana Brudenell.[1][2]
Lady Emily served as Lady of the Bedchamber to Alexandra of Denmark, who was England's longest serving Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901.[3] Then, in 1901, with the death of Queen Victoria and her husband's ascension to the throne as King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, Alexandra became Queen Consort to the King.[4]
Lady Emily married on 5 February 1856 at Congerston, Leicestershire, England,[1] becoming the second wife of Colonel Sir Robert Nigel Fitzhardinge Kingscote,[5] whose first wife had died in childbirth. They had two sons and two daughters.[1]
