1926. In 1926 he was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Bedford. He was also awarded the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun 1st Class in 1922. In 1936 he was dismissed from the staff of King Edward VIII, as the Prince of Wales had now become. This was probably due to his opposition to Wallis Simpson becoming queen. In 1937, however, he was appointed an extra equerry to the new King George VI and took part in the coronation procession as acting Keeper of the Jewel House. He died in 1949 at the age of 77 and is buried in the churchyard of St Leonard's church in Old Warden in Bedfordshire.
