1933

Rodd was the second son of Sir Rennell Rodd, a diplomat and politician who was ennobled in 1933 as Baron Rennell, and Lilias Georgina Guthrie (1864–1951).

Among his siblings were Francis Rodd, 2nd Baron Rennell (who married the Hon. Mary Constance Vivian Smith), Evelyn Emmet, Baroness Emmet of Amberley (a Conservative politician and was created a life peer), Hon. Gloria Rodd (who married the painter Simon Elwes), and Hon. Gustaf Rodd (who married Yvonne Mary Marling, the youngest daughter of diplomat Sir Charles Murray Marling).

His mother was the fourth daughter of James Alexander Guthrie, 4th Baron of Craigie and the former Elinor Stirling (a daughter of Adm. Sir James Stirling, Governor of Western Australia).

His aunt, Rose Ellinor Guthrie, was the wife of Hon. Sir Cecil Edward Bingham (a younger son of Charles Bingham, 4th Earl of Lucan).

His father was the only son of Maj. James Rennell Rodd of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, and the former Elizabeth Anne Thomson (a daughter of Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson).

Through his father, he was a descendant of Adm. Sir John Tremayne Rodd and the geographer James Rennell.

He was educated at Wellington College and Balliol College, Oxford.

Rodd followed no specific career and his views were erratic and changeable; having joined the British Union of Fascists in 1933, by the following year he was fiercely denouncing the movement.

In 1933, Rodd was married to the novelist and socialite Nancy Mitford, daughter of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale and one of the famous Mitford sisters.

1939

He was commissioned into the Welsh Guards in 1939, and during a varied war career saw service in Africa and Italy, attaining the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.

After the war he attempted unsuccessfully to become a film-maker; his one completed project, For Whom the Gate Tolls, shot in Spain, was a failure.

1957

They divorced in 1957, although by then the marriage had been over in all but name for some years.

Nancy, who was called "unabashedly snobbish and devastatingly witty" and her family nicknamed him "Prodd" or "the old toll-gater", from his skill at talking at great length on historical subjects such as turnpike roads.

1968

Other than this, for the remainder of his years he lived a more or less idle life, mainly on handouts, mostly in Rome and finally in Malta, where he died in 1968.
