He was the son of Ivor Grosvenor Guest, 2nd Viscount Wimborne (1903–1967) and his wife Lady Mabel Edith Fox-Strangways, a daughter of Giles Fox-Strangways, 6th Earl of Ilchester. William Walton composed "Set me as a seal upon thine heart" for his parents' wedding.[2]
His paternal grandfather was Ivor Guest, 1st Viscount Wimborne (1873–1939), who was a British politician and one of the last Lords Lieutenant of Ireland, serving in that position at the time of the Easter Rising in 1916.[3] He was educated at Eton College, like his father.[4]
