Ronald William Bailey, CMG (1917-2010) was a British diplomat. Reading Spanish and French at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, he became friendly with an Egyptian minister's son who invited him to Egypt, where they rode out with the Camel Corps and met a former prime minister at King Tutankhamun's tomb. Bailey's first posting was Beirut, where he dealt in the mornings with visas for British subjects going to Palestine and studied Arabic at the American University in the afternoons.
