Campbell was the son of John Campbell, 5th Earl Cawdor, and Wilma Mairi Vickers. He studied at Eton College, Magdalen College, Oxford, and the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester.[1]
He held the office of High Sheriff of Carmarthenshire in 1964. Although Scottish, he lived at Golden Grove, Llandeilo, in Wales, until his father's death in 1970, when he inherited the family estates in Scotland,[2] some 50,000 acres.[1]
Lord Cawdor was married firstly on 19 January 1956 to Cathryn Hinde, daughter of Major-General Sir Robert Hinde DSO KBE CB, and his wife Evelyn Muriel Wright. They had five children:[3]
Lord Cawdor and Cathryn Hinde were divorced in 1979 and he was married secondly to Countess Angelika Lazansky von Bukowa on 28 December 1979.[3] She is an advocate for organic gardening and farming.[4] There were no children of the second marriage.[3]
Lord Cawdor died on 20 June 1993.[3] He caused controversy by leaving Cawdor Castle to his second wife rather than his heir.[5] One of his daughters, Lady Elizabeth (Liza), published her memoir of him in 2006, called Title Deeds: a Work of Friction.
