British Banker born in 1842

Alfred Charles Freiherr de Rothschild, CVO (20 July 1842 – 31 January 1918), was the second son of Lionel Freiherr de Rothschild and Charlotte Freifrau von Rothschild of the Rothschild family.

As a young man, Alfred attended King's College School, Wimbledon, and subsequently Trinity College, Cambridge, where he would study Mathematics for two terms. It was at Trinity College that Alfred formed a lasting friendship with the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. Alfred left Cambridge University without a degree.

Freiherr de Rothschild was invested as a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) by King Edward VII at Buckingham Palace in 1902. He was awarded the Legion of Honour by the government of France and the 1st Class Order of the Crown by the Kingdom of Prussia, and made Grand Cross of the Order of Franz Joseph of Austria Hungary. In 1895, at age 19, Almina married The 5th Earl of Carnarvon, thus becoming the Countess of Carnarvon. Alfred enabled the union by providing a £500,000 dowry (equivalent to £ in pounds) that allowed her financially hard pressed husband to maintain the family estate, Highclere Castle, and pay off his debts. Further funds followed and, on his death, Alfred left a large part of his estate to her. In later life, Alfred did not enjoy good health and he died after a short illness on 31 January 1918, aged 75. He was interred in the Willesden Jewish Cemetery in the North London suburb of Willesden. In his will, his estate was put at £1,500,000 (equivalent to £ in pounds).
