Yup. From Wikipedia:
Born in Buckinghamshire, Young was brought up in Highgate, North London, and in South Devon. His mother Sasha (1931–1993), daughter of Raisley Stewart Moorsom, a descendant of Admiral Sir Robert Moorsom, who fought at the Battle of Trafalgar, through his son, Vice-Admiral Constantine Richard Moorsom, chairman of the London and North-Western Railway,[10][11] was a BBC Radio producer, artist and writer,[12] and his father was Michael Young (later Baron Young of Dartington), a Labour life peer and pioneering sociologist who coined the word 'meritocracy'.[13] Although entitled to use the style The Hon. Toby Young,[14] he does not.[15]
