Career

Norfolk worked with various companies, and from 2000 to 2002 was Deputy Earl Marshal. Upon the death of his father in 2002, he inherited the late Duke of Norfolk's peerages and the position of Earl Marshal. He was a Cub Scout while at school at Ampleforth College and currently holds two appointments in the Scout Movement. He was until 2010 the President of 1st Arundel (Earl of Arundel's Own) Scout Group, and still serves as President of the Arundel & Littlehampton District Scouts. He is also Patron of West Sussex County Scouts. In June 2003 he was awarded the Medal of Merit for Services to the Scout Movement. He is an Honorary Fellow of St Edmund's College, Cambridge.

Norfolk was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) in the 2022 Birthday Honours.

As hereditary Earl Marshal, he had responsibility for arranging the 19 September 2022 state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession and coronation of King Charles III. He used that official role as the grounds for his successful application to have the public and the press excluded from some of the hearing before he was sentenced for a driving offence. He had driven through a red light while using a mobile phone in his car. This led to a six months driving ban, and various fines and orders for costs.

Personal life

The Duke lives at Arundel Castle. He was disqualified from driving for six months in September 2022, as a result of a driving offence in April 2022. Added to previous motoring convictions, he incurred an excess of penalty points, resulting in the ban. His barrister argued in mitigation that he needed the ability to drive to organise the coronation of King Charles III.
