His father, Viscount Elveden, was a Major in the 55th (Suffolk and Norfolk Yeomanry) Anti-Tank Regiment of the Royal Artillery and was killed in action by a V-2 rocket while serving in Belgium on 8 February 1945.
In 1947, his mother remarried Edward Rory More O'Ferrall, from another aristocratic Irish family.
Lord Iveagh was educated at Eton College, Trinity College, Cambridge, and the University of Grenoble.
He lived at Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park in Dublin and was chairman of Guinness 1961–1992.
He was a trustee of two charitable housing associations, the Iveagh Trust in Dublin and the Guinness Trust in London.
He was involved in horse breeding and also owned horses.
The More O'Ferralls, his mother's husband's family were prominent in racing and breeding circles.
He helped to finance the Kildangan Stud, a famous stud farm owned by his step-uncle, Roderic More O'Ferrall.
Uniquely at the time, he was a member of two upper houses simultaneously.
He was chairman of Guinness plc from 1962 to 1986, and then its president from 1986 until his death in 1992.

Towards the end of his life, Guinness was an alcoholic.
His obituary in The Independent, described his business career as "at best undistinguished and at times positively disastrous ...[h]is reign [as chairman of Guinness] was marked first by a phase of unbridled diversification away from the core brewing business and then a prolonged period of debilitating decline."
They had four children before their divorce in 1984:
Lord Iveagh died of cancer in Kensington and Chelsea, London, in 1992 at the age of 55.
His eldest son succeeded to the family titles.
