Hicks Beach was the eldest son of the former Chancellor, Michael Hicks-Beach, 1st Earl St Aldwyn, and his wife Lucy Catherine (née Lady Lucy Catherine Fortescue). He sat as Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Tewkesbury from 1906 to 1916 and a board member at Lloyds Bank. He fought in the First World War as a Captain with the 1/1st Royal Gloucestershire Hussars and died, aged 39 on 23 April 1916 as a result of wounds received at Katia, Egypt. He is buried at the Cairo New British Protestant Cemetery alongside his wife. From 1915, he held the courtesy title of Viscount Quenington, a subsidiary title held by his father.
