Sir Alec Douglas-Home
Sir Alec Douglas-Home was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister from 1963 to 1964. A member of the Conservative Party, he was notable for being the last Prime Minister to come from the House of Lords, having renounced his peerage to assume leadership of the government. His tenure was marked by economic challenges and a lack of parliamentary majority, leading to a brief time in office before losing to Labour leader Harold Wilson. Douglas-Home's political career spanned several decades, during which he held various roles, including Foreign Secretary.
