- Hallam Tennyson, 2nd Baron Tennyson, GCMG, PC (11 August 1852 - 2 December 1928), second Governor-General of Australia, was born at Chapel House, Twickenham, in Surrey, England. Named after his father's late friend Arthur Hallam, he was the elder son of Alfred Tennyson, the most popular and prominent poet of late Victorian England. Hallam was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge, but his career aspirations ended when his parents' age and ill-health obliged him to leave Cambridge to become their personal secretary. The idea of going into politics was also abandoned. It was partly for Hallam's benefit that Alfred Tennyson accepted a peerage in 1884, the year Hallam married Audrey Boyle (after being disappointed in his love for Mary Gladstone, daughter of William Gladstone). On his father's death in 1892, he inherited the title Baron Tennyson, and also the role of official biographer. His Tennyson: a Memoir was published in 1897. Like his famous father, Tennyson was an ardent imperialist, and in 1883 he had become a council member of the Imperial Federation League, a lobby group set up to support the imperialist ideas of the Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain. It was this connection, as well as the Tennyson name, that led Chamberlain to offer Tennyson the position of Governor of South Australia in 1899. He was still in this position when the Governor-General, the Earl of Hopetoun, resigned suddenly in May 1902. Tennyson was the senior state Governor and thus became acting Governor-General upon Hopetoun's departure on 17 July. There were some doubts about his ability to fill the job on a permanent basis since he had little experience of politics. But he had made a good impression in Australia through his modesty and frugality, unlike the ostentatiously imperious Hopetoun. In January 1903 he accepted the post for, at his own suggestion, a one-year appointment only. (In the meantime, Lord Hopetoun had been created 1st Marquess of Linlithgow in October 1902) The new Governor-General was popular and got on with Australians far better than his predecessor had done. But problems arose through the ambiguity of his position. The Prime Minister, Alfred Deakin, insisted that the Governor-General's official secretary must be appointed and paid by the Australian government. The British government objected (privately) because this would mean that the Governor-General could not carry out what was seen in London as his broader role in supervising the Australian government. Tennyson shared this view. As a result, relations between Deakin and Tennyson grew tense. Deakin (rightly) suspected that Tennyson was reporting on him to London and trying to interfere on matters of policy, such as the naval agreement between Britain and Australia. For this reason Deakin did not encourage Tennyson to seek an extension of his one-year term. None of this was known to the public and Tennyson left Australia in January 1904 to universal expressions of approval. He spent the rest of his life in the Isle of Wight, serving as deputy governor from 1913. His wife died in 1916, and in 1918 he married again. Tennyson's second wife was the daughter of an English family long prominent in India. Mary Emily (May) Prinsep (1853-1931) was the daughter of Charles Robert Prinsep, born in India and later the owner of a large nutmeg plantation in Singapore. (Prinsep Street and Prinsep Place in Singapore are named for him. ) May Prinsep's first husband was Andrew Hichens; her second husband was Baron Tennyson. The National Portrait Gallery has eight photographs of May Prinsep, taken by her relation Julia Margaret Cameron on the Isle of Wight. He died at his house, Farringford in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight in December 1928.

- Hallam Tennyson, 2 baron Tennyson, fut le deuxième gouverneur général d'Australie. Il est né à Chapel House, à Twickenham, dans le Surrey, en Angleterre. Il était le fils ainé d'Alfred Tennyson, le plus populaire et célèbre poète anglais de la fin de l'époque victorienne. Hallam fit ses études à Marlborough College et à Trinity College (Cambridge) mais l'état de santé et la vieillesse de ses parents l'obligèrent à arrêter ses études pour s'occuper d'eux. Il abandonna aussi toute idée de faire une carrière politique. Comme son père, Tennyson fut un fervent partisan de l'Empire et en 1883 il devint membre de l' "Imperial Federation League", un groupe chargé de défendre les idées sur l'empire du Ministre des Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain. C'est par ce biais et pour son nom que Chamberlain lui proposa le poste de quatorzième gouverneur d'Australie-Méridionale. Il occupait ce poste quand le gouverneur général d'Australie, Lord Hopetoun démissionna brutalement de son poste. Tennyson était le plus ancien gouverneur en poste et de ce fait devint gouverneur général par intérim. On avait quelque crainte sur sa capacité à assurer le poste car il avait peu d'expérience en politique. Mais il fit bonne impression par sa modestie et sa simplicité, venant après le prétentieux Lord Hopetoun. En janvier 1903 il accepta le poste, à sa demande, pour un an. Il fut un gouverneur général très populaire mais les problèmes apparurent de par l'ambiguité de sa position. Le Premier Ministre, Alfred Deakin, voulait que le Chef de cabinet du Gouverneur-Général soit nommé et payé par le gouvernement australien. Le gouvernement britannique objecta qu'il ne pouvait accepter car cela porterait atteinte à son rôle de contrôleur du gouvernement. Tennyson partagea ce point de vue. Les relations entre Deakin et Tennyson devinrent tendues. Deakin (à juste titre) suspectait Tennyson d'informer Londres sur son comportement et d'essayer d'interférer dans ses choix politiques notamment pour l'accord sur la défense maritime entre la Grande-Bretagne et l'Australie. C'est pour cela que Deakin n'encouragea pas Tennyson à faire prolonger son mandat. Aucun de ces faits ne fut jamais connu publiquement et Tennyson quitta l'Australie en janvier 1904 en laissant derrière lui beaucoup de regrets sur son départ. Il passa le reste de sa vie dans l'île de Wight, où il occupa les fonctions de vice-gouverneur. Il mourut chez lui en décembre 1928.
- Nel 1884, probabilmente per favorire Hallam, Alfred Tennyson accettò di diventare un pari del Regno. Nello stesso anni Hallam sposò Audrey Boyle (dopo aver subito una cocente delusione amorosa da Mary Gladstone, figlia di William Ewart Gladstone). Nel 1892, dopo il decesso del padre, egli ereditò il titolo di Barone Tennyson, e anche il ruolo di biografo ufficiale dell'illustre genitore. Il suo Tennyson: la memoria fu pubblicato nel 1897. Seguendo le orme paterne, Tennyson fu un'ardente imperialista, e nel 1893 diventò membro della Lega della Federazione Imperiale, una lobby nata per sostenere i programmi imperialisti del Ministro delle Colonie Joseph Chamberlain. Il legame tra il nostro e Chamberlain divenne così stretto, che nel 1899 quest'ultimo offrì a Tennyson il Governatorato dell'Australia del Sud. Egli occupava ancora questo scranno quando il Governatore Generale Hopetoun, si dimise improvvisamente nel luglio del 1902. Tennyson, decano tra i Governatori dei singoli stati della federazione australiana, fu designato a succedere a Hopetoun. A dir il vero si nutrivano molte perplessità sulla abilità di Tennyson a svolgere il delicato compito, stante la sua scarsa esperienza politica, ma egli fece una buona impressione in Australia per la sua modestia e frugalità che contrastavano con l'ostentata pompa del suo predecessore. Tennyson si insediò nel gennaio del 1903, accettando un mandato di durata annuale, ma la sua popolarità non fu sufficiente per creare un rapporto armonioso con il governo australiano. Il primo Ministro, Alfred Deakin, chiese che segretario dell'ufficio del Governatore fosse nominato e pagato dal governo australiano. Il Governo Britannico era segretamente contrario perché voleva far esercitare al Governatore Generale il ruolo di supervisore per conto di Londra. Tennyson decidendo di far proprie le richieste britanniche fece salire la tensione tra le due massime istituzioni australiane. Il premier Deakin sospettava che il Governatore fosse l'autore dei rapporti che giungevano a Londra sulla condotta del premier e temeva le sue interferenze in trattati politici, come nel caso dell'accordo navale tra la Gran Bretagna e l'Australia. Per questa ragione Deakin non chiese a Tennyson di rinnovare il suo mandato annuale. Per ragioni rimaste sconosciute al pubblico il Governatore Generale lasciò l' Australia nel gennaio del 1904, quando era ancora all'apice della sua popolarità. Egli trascorse il resto della sua vita nell'Isola di Wight, dove nel 1913 divenne vice Governatore. Tennyson morì a casa sua nel dicembre del 1928.
- Hallam Tennyson, 2. baron Tennyson – brytyjski arystokrata i polityk, w latach 1903 - 1904 gubernator generalny Australii. Urodził się jako syn Alfreda Tennysona, jednego z najbardziej znanych brytyjskich poetów swoich czasów. Był absolwentem Uniwersytetu w Cambridge, jednak musiał porzucić plany kariery naukowej, aby zostać sekretarzem i opiekunem swoich sędziwych rodziców. W 1883 stał się członkiem Ligi Federacji Imprerialnej, organizacji wspierającej politykę kolonialną Josepha Chamberlaina. Związki te oraz siła nazwiska pozwoliły mu uzyskać w 1899 nominację na gubernatora Australii Południowej, a następnie gubernatora generalnego Australii, którym został w 1903. Na własną prośbę mianowano go na zaledwie roczną kadencję, co wiązało się m. in. z wysuwanymi wobec niego zarzutami o brak niezbędnego na takim stanowisku doświadczenia politycznego. Po powrocie do Anglii zamieszkał na wyspie Wight, gdzie w 1913 został zastępcą gubernatora. Żył tam aż do śmierci.
