==Career==
Charles John FitzRoy Rhys Wingfield was educated at Charterhouse School and wished to join the Army (like his father and three brothers) but was prevented by poor health. He did join a militia battalion of the Royal Fusiliers in 1895,〔(The London Gazette, 12 March 1895 )〕 promoted to Captain in 1898, but as he was not allowed to serve in the South African War, he left the army in 1901 to join the Diplomatic Service as an attaché.〔(The London Gazette, 2 April 1901 )〕 His early postings were at Paris, Athens, Berlin and Madrid; in 1909 he was posted to Christiania (now Oslo) where he acted as chargé d'affaires in the absence of the Minister in 1909, 1910 and 1911; in 1915 he moved to Tokyo in 1915 and spent the rest of the war there; in 1919 he was promoted to Counsellor and sent back to Madrid where he again served as chargé d'affaires in 1920, 1921 and 1922; to Brussels in 1922 (chargé d'affaires 1923, 1924, 1925); and to Rome in 1926 (chargé d'affaires 1926, 1927, 1928). In 1928 he gained his first post as head of mission, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Siam,〔(The London Gazette, 30 April 1929 )〕 but he stayed there less than a year before returning to Oslo as envoy to Norway.〔(The London Gazette, 24 January 1930 )〕 He was envoy to the Holy See 1934–35 and finally Ambassador to Portugal 1935–37,〔(The London Gazette, 22 November 1935 )〕 an important post at the time because of the effect on Portugal of the Spanish Civil War.
