Neville Chamberlain

The Right Honourable Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869–9 November, 1940) was a British politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937–1940.

Notes

1 Chamberlain went to his formal appointment at Buckingham Palace uncertain about whether or not the term "kiss hands" was literal or metaphorical. The staff at the Palace whom he spoke to before meeting the King did not know either. It was only when the King invited him to sit down, without offering a hand, that Chamberlain deduced the answer.

Chamberlain was a cousin of British-born actor Alan Napier, famous for playing "Alfred" on the campy 1960s series Batman.
