Countess of Carnarvon is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain created on 1 March 2023 for Elizabeth Howard-Campbell, formerly Elizabeth Somerset, to celebrate the end of her reign as Queen Elizabeth III. On creating the title, King Edward IX wrote, "[Elizabeth], from her arrival in the region in the fabled summer of 2020, has constantly given her utmost to this great community, whether as a parliamentarian, administrator, or servant of and lately wearer of the Crown." The title is held with Duchess of Edinburgh, Marchioness of Snowdon, Viscountess St. James, and Baroness Grey. The earldom is also held with the position of Head of the Howard-Campbell family and ownership of Arundel Castle and Edinburgh House, their estates, and the liquid assets of the first Duchess by virtue of the entail.
