At the beginning of the reign of George V
the 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire became Lord Great Chamberlain, according to the rotation rule. He thus held the office from 1910 until his death in 1928. During the same reign this office is held in the same share-holding line and thus on his death devolved upon his senior heir, his eldest daughter Lady Nunburnholme. However, as the office could not be exercised by a woman, her brother-in-law, William Legge, Viscount Lewisham acted as Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain in her stead until the end of George V's reign (1928-36).
Lady Nunburnholme's twentieth share was inherited in full by her son, the 3rd Baron, and in turn by his son, the 4th Baron. He had no son so the Barony was inherited by his brother. His twentieth share in the office of Lord Great Chamberlain was, however, inherited in equal shares by his four daughters each of whom now hold an eightieth share. The inheritance thus continued as follows:
For all 4 sisters, Shares: 1/80; Period: since 1998.
According to the rotation rule among the share-holding lines, the office of Lord Great Chamberlain during the next reign (probably that of the current Charles, Prince of Wales
as Charles III) will fall to the Hon. Lorraine Wilson and her heirs (currently her sister Tatiana), during the same reign. Whether she would appoint a Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain to act on her behalf is unknown.
