Life and career
Tristram Powell was born in
Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, the last squire of Felbrigg Hall and a noted biographer.[3] He was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Oxford.[1]
Powell's father died in 2000, and he has recounted the story of his conversing with the doctor in attendance, who was also surnamed Powell, about his ancestry.[4] His mother, Lady Violet, died in 2002.[5]
Powell objected to the National Trust's 2017 short film about his godfather, Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer of Felbrigg Hall, in which the latter's private life as a homosexual was revealed. Powell said that the Trust had made the revelation for "commercial reasons" in a way he considered "exaggerated and mean-spirited".[6]
Powell's daughter Georgia married Henry Somerset, 12th Duke of Beaufort, in 2018.[7]
Tristram Powell died on 1 March 2024, at the age of 83.[8]
