At the age of age|1979|10|19, Bristol is the youngest substantive marquess in the kingdom.
Lord Bristol became heir to the 7th Marquess in January 1998 upon the death of his half-brother Lord Nicholas Hervey (1961–1998).

He was educated at St Maur School in Monaco, Sunningdale School, Eton, and Edinburgh University, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He is currently engaged in Estonian and wider Baltic real estate.
Lord Bristol has expressed bitter disappointment at the sale of the right to residence in the East Wing of Ickworth House, the family seat since the 15th century, by the 7th Marquess in 1998 and has vigorously criticized the National Trust for not reselling what would have been the remaining term of that leasehold to him on the death of the 7th Marquess. The National Trust has converted the East Wing into a hotel for the public.
Lord Bristol has an impressive array of godparents, including King Fuad II and Queen Fadilla of Egypt, Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia, Prince Nikita Romanoff of Russia, the Countess of Dundonald. He is also reported to be close to the Albanian Royal family, and King Leka of the Albanians is his sister Lady Victoria Hervey's Godfather.
