Early life

Chichester was the eldest son of the 3rd Baron Templemore and his wife, Evelyn (née Stracey-Clitherow). From his father's second marriage, he had a younger half-brother, Sir Gerald Chichester, a diplomat and courtier who served as Private Secretary to Queen Mary.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

He was educated at Harrow and trained at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before being commissioned into the Royal Fusiliers as a second lieutenant on 20 January 1900.

Career

He fought in the Second Boer War, and was promoted to lieutenant on 23 February 1901,<ref>Hart's Army list, 1903.</ref> staying in South Africa until the end of the war, when he returned home on the SS Assaye in September 1902.<ref>Template:Cite newspaper The Times</ref> When he was back in the United Kingdom, he returned as a regular lieutenant in his regiment in November 1902.<ref>Template:London Gazette</ref> He later served in Mauritius, India, and the British expedition to Tibet.<ref name="times">Template:Cite news</ref>

By now a captain, Chichester distinguished himself in the First World War with his service in France and Italy, becoming a major with the Irish Guards and winning, along with several other awards, the DSO (1918) and an OBE (1919).<ref name="times"/>

In 1924, he succeeded his father as Baron Templemore, and three years later was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Earl of Onslow as Under-Secretary of State for War and Paymaster General.<ref name="times"/>

Lord Templemore was a Lord in Waiting to George V from February to June 1929, and again from 1931 to 1934. He was also Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard for 11 years (1934–1945), and served as Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords (1940–1945). He was appointed KCVO in 1938.<ref name="times"/> He was a Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire.

Personal life

Templemore married the Hon. Clare Meriel Wingfield, second daughter of Mervyn Wingfield, 7th Viscount Powerscourt, at St George's, Hanover Square, London, in 1911.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> They had three sons:

• Major Hon. Arthur Patrick Spencer Chichester (23 March 1914 – 23 December 1942), killed in action in North Africa in World War II<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
• Major Hon. Dermot Richard Claud Chichester (18 April 1916 – 19 April 2007)
• Lord Desmond Clive Chichester MC (1920–2000)

Lord Templemore died in 1953 in County Wicklow. His second son succeeded him in the barony and in 1975 inherited the title of Marquess of Donegall in the Peerage of Ireland from a distant cousin.<ref name="times"/>
