William Alexander Sidney Herbert, 18th Earl of Pembroke, 15th Earl of Montgomery (born 18 May 1978) is an English peer. He became Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery in 2003 following the death of his father, Henry Herbert, 17th Earl of Pembroke.
Pembroke is the only son of the 17th Earl by his wife, the former Claire Rose Pelly, who is now married to Stuart Wyndham Murray-Threipland. He has three older sisters and three younger half-sisters by his father's second marriage.
He inherited the ancestral titles and estates, centring on Wilton House, the family seat in Wiltshire, when his father died in 2003. In April 2009, he announced his engagement to his long-time girlfriend, Victoria Bullough. The couple were married on 29 May 2010 at the parish church of St Mary and St Nicholas in Wilton, near Salisbury.
Their first child, Lady Alexandra Ekaterina Eloise Herbert, was born at Salisbury District Hospital on 3 April 2011. A son and heir, Reginald Henry Michael, Lord Herbert, was born on 21 October 2012. Their third child, Louis Charles Alexander Herbert, was born at Salisbury District Hospital on 20 September 2014.
The former Victoria Bullough (born 1985) is a daughter of Michael Bullough, owner of McEwens, a department store in Scotland. Her mother, Sandra Lee-Graham Bullough, is a former model. She grew up in Huntingtower, Perth, and was educated at Glenalmond College, then studied interior architecture at Chelsea College of Art and Design, graduating with First Class honours. While at Chelsea, she appeared in Country Life and began dating Pembroke. They lived together at Wilton from 2007. Lady Pembroke is now a Patroness of the Royal Caledonian Ball.
Lord Pembroke was educated at Bryanston School, then at the University of Leeds for two years, where he did a foundation course in 3D computer graphics design. He then pursued a course in industrial design at Sheffield Hallam University, being the first Herbert to graduate with a first class honours degree.
