William Alexander Anthony Archibald, 11th Duke of Hamilton, was born 18th February 1811, the son of Alexander, 10th Duke and Susan Beckford, daughter of William Beckford of Fonthill Gifford.

In 1843 he married Princess Marie, daughter of Charles, Grand Duke of Baden, by whom he had three children, the eldest of whom, William Alexander Louis Stephen, succeeded as 12th Duke in 1863.

After his marriage he lived chiefly in Paris and Baden, taking very little interest in British affairs even after his succession to the dukedom in 1852.
