  Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Henry George Grey, 4th Earl Grey, GCMG, GCVO, PC (28 November 1851 – 29 August 1917) was a British nobleman who was Governor General of Canada from 1904 to 1911.
In 1846, his uncle, the 3rd Earl Grey, as Colonial Secretary, was the first to suggest that colonies should be self-sustaining and governed for the benefit of their inhabitants, instead of for the benefit of the United Kingdom.
Grey served as a Member of Parliament from 1880 to 1886 and succeeded his uncle as 4th Earl Grey in 1894.
