William Stuart was the third son of General Robert Walter Stuart, 11th Lord Blantyre. He was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He entered the Diplomatic Service in 1845 as unpaid attaché in Paris, and continued unpaid for six years until 1851.〔(Minutes of evidence taken before the Select Committee on Diplomatic Service, 13 May 1861 ), page 168, paragraph 1783ff.〕 In 1856 it fell to Stuart (by then with the rank of First Attaché at Paris) to carry back to London the Ratification, signed by the monarchs of the participating countries, of the Treaty of Paris (1856).〔(The London Gazette, 28 April 1856 )〕
In 1856 Stuart began a series of posts as Secretary of Legation, first at Rio de Janeiro,〔(The London Gazette, 19 February 1858 )〕 then at Naples from 1859 until February 1861 when King Francis II was overthrown and the British legation at Naples was closed. Stuart was then appointed to Athens in October 1861,〔(The London Gazette, 29 October 1861 )〕 to Washington, D.C. in October 1862,〔(The London Gazette, 10 October 1862 )〕 to Constantinople in 1864〔(The London Gazette, 7 June 1864 )〕 and to St Petersburg in 1866.〔(The London Gazette, 29 June 1866 )〕
In 1868 Stuart was appointed Minister to the Argentine Republic,〔(The London Gazette, 17 January 1868 )〕 although in March 1871 he was in London acting as Protocolist to a conference on the European Commission of the Danube, when he was awarded the CB.〔(The London Gazette, 14 March 1871 )〕 In 1872 he was appointed to be Minister to Greece,〔(The London Gazette, 27 September 1872 )〕 and in 1877 to his final post as Minister to the Netherlands〔(The Edinburgh Gazette, 9 November 1877 )〕 and Luxembourg.〔(The London Gazette, 2 December 1879 )〕 His duties there included negotiation of a bilateral treaty between Great Britain and Luxembourg on the extradition of criminals in 1880〔(Treaty Between Great Britain And Luxemburg For The Mutual Surrender Of Fugitive Criminals, 24 November 1880 ) – United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime〕 (superseded by later European conventions, currently the European Arrest Warrant), and the North Sea Fisheries Convention of 1882. While at The Hague he was knighted KCMG in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 1886.〔(Supplement to the London Gazette, 29 May 1886 )〕 He retired in 1888.
