In the late 18th century, Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, had the brilliant idea of asking her butler to bring her light meal in the middle of the afternoon, starting the tradition of afternoon tea.
High tea was said to start due to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford in the 19th century. People only had breakfast and dinner so she decided to have a pot of tea and a light snack, privately in her boudoir during the afternoon. http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content=view=131=18
