Richard William Roberts Ogden MBE (14 December 1919 - 14 October 2005), was a British jeweller, the third generation of his family in the high-end London trade.

Early life

He was born in Harrogate, the son of William Ogden who was also a jeweller, with a shop in King Street, St James's. His grandfather James R Ogden, started a jewellery business in Harrogate in 1893, and later moved to London, where he had premises in Duke Street, St James's.[1]

He was educated at Harrow School, and served in military intelligence in Burma during the Second World War, rising to Major, awarded an MBE and mentioned three times in dispatches.[1]

Career

In 1947, he opened a shop in Prince's Arcade, and moved to Burlington Arcade in 1951.[1] Customers have included Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Ingrid Bergman, Jack Hawkins, Claire Bloom, Audrey Hepburn, and Madonna.[1]

Personal life

Ogden married Jenny Tencate in 1946, and they had two sons and a daughter. The marriage was dissolved in 1958, and in 1960 he married Phyllis Dawson, gaining a stepson and two stepdaughters. His eldest son, Robert Ogden runs the business, still in Burlington Arcade.[1]
