Lieutenant-Colonel Lord John George Lennox (3 October 1793 – 10 November 1873), was a British soldier and Whig politician.
Lennox was the second son of Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond, and the former Lady Charlotte Gordon. Lennox joined the Army in 1811 and was an ADC to the Duke of Wellington from 1813, at Waterloo and up to 1818. He was returned to Parliament for Chichester in 1819 (succeeding his father), a seat he held until 1831. He then represented Sussex between 1831 and 1832 and Sussex West between 1832 and 1841.[1]
He was Lord of the Bedchamber to Prince Albert from 1840 to Albert's death in 1860. [2]
