He was born on June 10, 1882 at Sedgwick Park near Horsham, Sussex, the third child of Robert and Emma Henderson. His uncle was Reginald Hargreaves, who married Alice Liddell, the original of Alice in Wonderland. He was educated at Eton and joined the Diplomatic Service in 1905.
In the early 1920s, Henderson was stationed at the embassy in Turkey, where he played a major role in the often difficult relations between Britain and the new Turkish republic. He served as an envoy to France in 1928-1929 and as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929-1935, where he was in close confidence with King Alexander and Prince Paul. After serving as Ambassador to Argentina from 1935-1937, the Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, appointed him Ambassador in Berlin on May 28, 1937.
Henderson was ambassador at the time of the 1938 Munich Agreement, and counselled Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to enter into it. Shortly thereafter, he returned to London for medical treatment, returning to Berlin in ill-health in February 1939. He wrote Failure of a Mission: Berlin 1937-1939 in London, which was published in 1940, but he succumbed to his illness on December 30, 1942, aged 60.lihat lebih sedikit
