The son of Reverend William Bridgeman Simpson and Lady Frances Laura Wentworth FitzWilliam (herself daughter of the Earl Fitzwilliam), and descendant of the 1st Baron Bradford was Aide-de-Camp to King Edward VII between 1901 and 1903. From 1907 to 1909, he was Commander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet, from 1909 to 1911 he was Second Sea Lord and First Sea Lord of the Admiralty in 1911 and 1912.
