Richard Temple-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos

In 1846, Buckingham entered Parliament as Conservative MP for Buckinghamshire, and remained as an unopposed MP until 1857. He was appointed a deputy lieutenant for Oxfordshire on 3 February 1846,[1] Hampshire on 17 February,[2] and Northamptonshire on 29 May.[3] In 1852, he entered Lord Derby's administration as a Lord of the Treasury, a position he held for exactly ten months. That year, he was also appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal of the Prince of Wales,[4] Deputy Warden of the Stannaries, deputy lieutenant of Buckinghamshire,[5] and chairman of the London and North-Western Railway. In 1857, he resigned as MP for Buckinghamshire and did not stand for re-election due to the deteriorating family fortunes and his father's bankruptcy. In 1859, Buckingham contested against William Ewart Gladstone for the constituency of Oxford University, but lost by 859 to 1050 votes. In 1861, he succeeded his father as Duke of Buckingham and Chandos (and in various other titles across four Peerages) and took his seat on the House of Lords; he also resigned as chairman of the London and North-Western Railway.
Buckingham's political career was stagnant until 1866, when he was appointed to the Privy Council and became Lord Derby's Lord President of the Council. During the interregnum, Buckingham served as chairman of the executive committee of the royal commission for the Great Exhibition of 1862. He served as Lord President of the Council until 8 March 1867, when he succeeded Lord Carnarvon as Secretary of State for the Colonies.
