Winston Churchill – Nicholas Soames

There’s certainly no doubt that Winston Churchill is one of the most influential leaders in history. Churchill served as the UK’s prime minister from 1940 until 1945, during World War II, and from 1951 until 1955. Besides Prime Minister, Churchill also received credit for winning the Nobel Prize as a writer, a prolific historian, and a painter. One couldn’t easily question his legacy as one of the most iconic leaders during the 20th century.

You could say that being involved in politics runs in Churchill’s blood, as his grandson, Nicholas Soames, also followed his footsteps in politics. Soames served as a long-running Member of Parliament for Mid Sussex starting from 1997 until 2019. Before his time with Mid Sussex, he also served as the MP for Crawley from 1983 to 1997. Without a doubt, Nicholas took a page out of his grandfather’s book and cultivated a long-running career in politics for himself.
