Charles Alexander Bannerman Carnegie, 11th Earl of Southesk KCVO (23 September 1893 – 16 February 1992), styled The Honourable Charles Carnegie before 1905 and Lord Carnegie between 1905 and 1941, was the husband of Princess Maud, a granddaughter of King Edward VII.
Charles Alexander Carnegie was born on 23 September 1893 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father was the 10th Earl of Southesk, the son of the 9th Earl of Southesk and Lady Catherine Hamilton Noel. His mother was Ethel Mary Elizabeth Bannerman. When his father succeeded to the earldom in 1905 he was styled Lord Carnegie as the eldest son of the Earl of Southesk. Lord Carnegie was educated at Eton College. He later joined the British Army and received a commission in the Scots Guard. In 1917, he served as an aide-de-camp to the Viceroy of India.
On 12 November 1923 he married Princess Maud of Fife at the Royal Military Chapel, Wellington Barracks, London. Princess Maud was the younger daughter of the Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife and Louise, Princess Royal. Maud was granted the title of a British princess with the style Highness in 1905 by her grandfather King Edward VII. Following their marriage, Princess Maud ceased to use the title of Princess and the style Highness (though she was still legally entitled to them) and was known as Lady Carnegie. Together the couple had one child, James George Alexander Bannerman Carnegie, 3rd Duke of Fife, 12th Earl of Southesk (23 September 1929- 22 June 2015).
