He lived for two years in Germany between 1846 and 1848. In 1858, he took over his father's law firm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guillermo MORPHY Y FERRIZ DE GUZMAN (Conde de) )〕 In 1863 he took classes under the composer François-Joseph Fétis in Brussels. When he returned he entered the Royal Palace of Madrid on November 28, 1863 as a gentleman of the then Prince of Asturias and future King Alfonso XII of Spain, a position he held until the Revolution in 1868 that overthrew Isabel II.〔
He moved to France to engage in musicology, and during the Franco-Prussian War he traveled to Vienna to be with Prince Alfonso. There he composed the opera ''Lizzie'' and other orchestral parts. On the Bourbon Restoration, he returned to Spain with the King, who appointed him his personal secretary on January 18, 1875 and granted him the title Count Morphy on May 3, 1882.〔 He published several studies and translated into Spanish a biography of Beethoven, and in 1892 entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.

Morphy was also an acquaintance and benefactor of several notable musicians of the time, such as Tomás Bretón, Pablo Casals and Isaac Albéniz.〔 The count was a close friend of Albéniz in particular and was highly enthusiastic towards his talent,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Albéniz )〕 and it was Morphy who arranged for a grant for him to study at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.〔 Morphy also arranged for violinist Enrique Fernández Arbós to study under Henri Vieuxtemps in Brussels.〔 Albéniz dedicated his composition ''Sevilla'' to Count Morphy's wife when he premiered in a piano performance in Paris on January 24, 1886.
