Background. Berkeley was born at Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, London, the eldest son of Frederick Berkeley, 5th Earl of Berkeley, by Mary Cole, daughter of William Cole.
The alleged private marriage between his father, the 13th Lord (Baron) and 4th Earl Berkeley with Mary, daughter of William Cole, publican and butcher, on 30 Mar 1875, was not recognised; for this reason, neither his elder brother nor himself inherited their fathers titles.
