Alexander Henry Louis Hardinge, 2nd Baron Hardinge of Penshurst GCB GCVO MC PC (17 May 1894–29 May 1960) was Private Secretary to the Sovereign during the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII and during most of the Second World War.
Hardinge's elder brother, Edward, had died from wounds received in action in 1914 and so Hardinge succeeded as Baron Hardinge of Penshurst when his father died a year later, in 1944.
Hardinge died in 1960 and his title was inherited by his son, George.
His wife Helen wrote his biography Loyal to Three Kings, William Kimber, London 1967.
