Harold Julian Amery, Baron Amery of Lustleigh, PC (27 March 1919 – 3 September 1996) was a British politician of the Conservative Party, who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for 39 of the 42 years between 1950 and 1992. He was appointed to the Privy Council in 1960. He was created a life peer upon his retirement from the House of Commons in 1992. For three decades, he was a leading figure in the Conservative Monday Club. He was also the son-in-law of Conservative prime minister Harold Macmillan.
Amery's father was Leo Amery, a British statesman and Conservative politician. His brother, John Amery, was hanged for treason having pleaded guilty to making recruitment efforts and propaganda broadcasts for Nazi Germany.
Amery was educated at Summer Fields School in Oxford, Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford. While an undergraduate, he had a brief romance with the novelist Barbara Pym, who was some years his senior.
On 26 January 1950, he married Catherine Macmillan, daughter of Harold Macmillan. Julian and Catherine had one son Leo Amery, a stained glass artist living in France and three daughters: Caroline Louise Michelle Amery (born 1951), Theresa Catherine Roxane Amery (born 1954) who married John Harvey Boteler (born 1954), and Alexandra Elizabeth "Lizzie" Charmian Amery (born 1956). Catherine, his wife, died in 1991.
