She was born Kenya Eleanor Kitchener, 12 July, 1923, daughter of Henry Franklin Chevallier Kitchener, styled Viscount Broome [1878-1928], and his wife the former Adela Mary Evelyn Monins [1893-1986], and was a granddaughter of the 2nd Earl Kitchener of Khartoum [1846-1937], who was the elder brother of Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the 1st Earl [1850-1916] [a rare case of an elder brother succeeding a younger sibling by special remainder].
