August Carew, 2nd Earl of Strathmore's third tenure as Prime Minister of Great Britain began on 19 November 2025, following the sudden resignation of his predecessor, Josephine Somerset Carew, The Duchess of Bedford, and his acclamation as Prime Minister by William, Prince-Regent. During this time, he also served as First Lord of the Treasury, Leader of the Unionist Party, and for a time as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The first time he had returned to Number Ten in over a year, he was the ninth Prime Minister of George VII, and the third to be appointed. He is one of six (at the time of writing) individuals to have served in all four Great Offices of State. Having secured a mandate at the December 2025 General Election (II), he became the first Prime Minister to serve two consecutive terms since Thomas Carew, more than 18 months prior.
