Alec Douglas-Home was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from October 1963 to June 1964. A member of the Conservative Party, he was notable for being the only Prime Minister in British history to come from the House of Lords, having been appointed as a peer before entering the Commons. His tenure was marked by economic challenges and a declining party popularity, ultimately leading to a loss in the 1964 general election. After his premiership, Douglas-Home continued to play a significant role in British politics, serving as Foreign Secretary and contributing to discussions on foreign policy.
