The eldest son of The 7th Marquess of Donegall, he succeeded his father in April 2007.[1]
He and his descendants hold 1/100 of the role of Lord Great Chamberlain due to the splitting of the role between sisters where no heirs male exist.
He was educated at Harrow School and the Royal Agricultural College.[2]
Lord Donegall is married to Caroline Philipson (born 1959).[2] They have two children:
- James Chichester, Earl of Belfast (born 1990), and
