Wikipedia description:
Almina Herbert, Countess of Carnarvon (née Wombwell; 14 April 1876 – 28 May 1969), was an English socialite, heiress, and philanthropist. She was the wife of George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon, and châtelaine of Highclere Castle in Hampshire. After her second marriage, she became Mrs Almina Dennistoun, although she called herself Almina Carnarvon. The illegitimate daughter of banker Alfred de Rothschild, Almina inherited a large fortune that funded her husband's estate and the search for Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt.
