Charles Greville (diarist)
Charles Cavendish Fulke Greville (2 April 1794 – 17 January 1865) was an English diarist and an amateur cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1819 to 1827. His father Charles Greville was a second cousin of the 1st Earl of Warwick, and his mother was Lady Charlotte Bentinck, daughter of the 3rd Duke of Portland (former leader of the Whig party and Prime Minister).〔''Burke's Peerage'' (1939 edition) s.v. Warwick.〕
==Early life==
Much of Greville's childhood was spent at his maternal grandfather's house at Bulstrode. He was one of the Pages of Honour to George III, and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford; but he left the university early, having been appointed private secretary to Earl Bathurst before he was twenty.〔Christopher Hibbert, ‘(Greville, Charles Cavendish Fulke (1794–1865) )’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008, accessed 29 July 2011.〕 The interest of the Duke of Portland had secured for him the secretaryship of the island of Jamaica, which was a sinecure office, the duties being performed by a deputy, and the reversion of the clerkship of the council. His mother was widely believed to be the mistress of the Duke of Wellington,〔Longford, Elizabeth ''Wellington-Pillar of State'' Weidenfeld and Nicholson London 1972 pp.85–7〕 an affair which caused her family much distress, and may account for Greville's frequently hostile attitude to Wellington.〔Longford p.87〕
