Lord Carrington has served as Lord Great Chamberlain of England since the accession of Charles III in September 2022. In that role, he took part in the coronation of Charles III and Camilla.[1]

He was educated at Eton College, and then the University of Bristol, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree.[3]
Carrington has two sisters, Alexandra (born 1943), married to Captain Peter de Bunsen,[4] and Virginia (born 1946), married to Henry Cubitt, 4th Baron Ashcombe (divorced).[5]
