Charles Randolph Mark Ogilvie-Grant was a British diplomat and botanist who first came to public attention as an early member of the "Bright Young Things" social circle. Although his early years were associated with a frivolous lifestyle, his later life was defined by significant international service.
During the Second World War, Ogilvie-Grant distinguished himself during the Greek campaign of 1940–1941. His actions during this conflict earned him recognition as a hero, demonstrating a stark contrast to his youthful reputation.
