Louisa Jane McDonnell, VA (née Grey; 15 February 1855, St. James's Palace – 2 April 1949), was the daughter of Hon. Charles Grey (a son of the 2nd Earl Grey and Private Secretary to Prince Albert) and his wife, Caroline Eliza née Farquhar. On 1 June 1875, Louisa married the 6th Earl of Antrim (thus becoming the Countess of Antrim) in the Chapel Royal at St. James's. They had three children:
- Lady Sybil Mary McDonnell (26 March 1876 – 16 April 1959), married Vivian Smith, 1st Baron Bicester.
- Randal McDonnell, 7th Earl of Antrim (10 December 1878 – 15 June 1932).
- Hon. Angus McDonnell (7 June 1881 – 22 April 1966).
In 1890, the Countess became a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria until the latter's death in 1901. She was reappointed as such under Queen Alexandra in 1901[1] and until Edward VII's death in 1910. The Countess of Antrim died in 1949, aged 94.[citation needed]
