Early life and family

He is the son of Jamie Spencer-Churchill, 12th Duke of Marlborough and his first wife, Rebecca Mary Few Brown. Lord Blandford is a distant relative of the wartime prime minister Winston Churchill (first cousin of his great-great-grandfather) and of Diana, Princess of Wales (his 4th cousin once removed). He is also a descendant of Consuelo Vanderbilt.

He and his family are notable for being involved in a high-profile legal dispute around 1993, when his paternal grandfather (the 11th Duke of Marlborough) sought to disinherit Lord Blandford's father. Since his father has had a controversial past, including serving time in jail for forging prescriptions and road rage, Lord Blandford was announced as the financial beneficiary of his grandfather's estate. His inheritance was to include Blenheim Palace, a 187-room mansion set on 2,000 acres in Oxfordshire.
Education and subsequent activities

He was educated at Harrow School, where he was captain of the school's polo team. From 2011 to 2014, he attended University College London, where he studied urbanisation. In March 2015, he started working as an aviation broker at JLT Group in London.

In 2015, he assumed the role of brand ambassador for "La Martina," a label specializing in polo clothing and accessories. His "Blenheim Polo Team" competes at the Cirencester Park Polo Club located in Gloucestershire.
