Chancellor was educated at Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He was the editor of the conservative Spectator magazine from 1975 to 1984. In 1993 he spent a year in the United States working as an editor at The New Yorker magazine, where he oversaw the "Talk of the Town" section. Some thought him "bumbling" and a "laughing stock", imparting a "skepticism so dry and genial it apparently went unnoticed." This experience was the basis of a memoir, Some Times in America, which was published in both the UK and the U.S. in 2000. In June 2014 he became editor of The Oldie magazine in succession to Richard Ingrams. Until January 2012, he contributed a weekly column in The Guardian, published in the "Weekend" supplement each Saturday. In March 2012, he began to contribute to The Spectator again, with a column entitled "Long Life".
