On 29 December 1804, he exchanged into the 3rd West India Regiment. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel in the Army on 25 June 1807. He went on half pay in August 1812, and was promoted to colonel on 4 June 1814. On 10 March 1812, he was appointed a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to King George III. He continued to serve in that post under King George IV until 1829. The family home in London was Harrington House. Viscount Petersham's manners were affected and he spoke with a kind of lisp. Never seen in public before 6:00 pm, 'Beau' Petersham was a trendsetter. He attracted the attention and friendship of the then Prince regent who emulated his clothes, his tea drinking and his addiction to snuff. Lord Petersham's sitting room contained canisters of tea in great variety and an equally wide range of snuff. He owned 365 snuff boxes and used a different one on each day of the year. Tall and handsome, Lord Petersham was said to resemble Henry IV; he emphasised the likeness by growing a small pointed beard and dressing like Henry. He designed many of his own clothes and his fashions were quickly copied. He gave his name to the and . The Prince Regent ordered an overcoat in the Petersham style for each day of the week. Viscount Petersham was famous for the brown colour of his coach, clothing, and his servant's livery. Petersham was almost fifty when he acceded to the Stanhope family title. He finally married, in 1831, Maria Foote, the Covent Garden actress, seventeen years his junior. Their affair had met with the old Earl's disapproval and had been the gossip of London and Derbyshire for several years. The 4th Earl of Harrington had William Barron landscape the park at Elvaston Castle, his father's Gothic confection by James Wyatt. Lewis Cottingham redecorated Wyatt's original entrance hall. Renamed the Hall of the Fair Star it was dedicated to the chivalrous pursuit of love. The new Countess was in her element in this make-believe world of chivalry. The 4th Earl and Maria had two children: * Charles Stanhope, Viscount Petersham (13 December 1831 – 8 April 1836) * Lady Jane St. Maur Blanche Stanhope (14 May 1833 – 28 November 1907), married George Conyngham, 3rd Marquess Conyngham Upon his death, the earl was succeeded by his brother, Leicester Stanhope, 5th Earl of Harrington. Australian tea company The Devotea has offered a tea named after him since 2010. 'Lord Petersham' is their biggest selling blend in North America. They also named one after his sister Anna Russell, the Duchess of Bedford. * Coat of Arms of the Earls of Harrington * Maria Foote, afterwards Countess of Harrington; From an engraved portrait in the collection of A.

  • Charles Stanhope (8 kwietnia 1780 - 3 marca 1851) – brytyjski arystokrata i wojskowy, najstarszy syn Charlesa Stanhope'a, 3. hrabiego Harrington i Jane Fleming, córki sir Johna Fleminga, 1. baroneta. Od urodzenia do śmierci ojca w 1829 r. nosił tytuł wicehrabiego Petersham, później - hrabiego (earl) Harrington. W latach 1793-1795 kształcił się w Eton College. Później wstąpił do Coldstream Guards. W 1799 r. został kapitanem Lekkich Dragonów Księcia Walii, w 1803 r. majorem Rangersów Królowej, zaś w 1807 r. podpułkownikiem 3. Regimentu Indii Zachodnich. W 1814 r. został awansowany do stopnia pułkownika. W latach 1812-1820 pełnił funkcję Lord of the Bedchamber króla Jerzy III Hanowerski, zaś w latach 1820-1829 tę samą funkcję dla króla Jerzego IV. Petersham należał do najbliższego kręgu przyjaciół księcia-regenta, późniejszego Jerzego IV. Maniery miał sztuczne, a mówiąc lekko seplenił. Nie pokazywał się publicznie przed 18:00. Petersham był osobą nadającą trend ówczesnej modzie. Sprzyjała temu znajomość z księciem-regentem, który naśladował wicehrabiego w sposobie ubierania, obyczaju picia kawy i zażywania tabaki. Miał 365 puzderek z tabaką, po jednej na każdy dzień roku. Wysoki i przystojny, Petersham przypominał według niektórych króla Henryka IV. Dla udokumentowania podobieństwa nosił krótko przystrzyżoną brodę. Sam zaprojektował większość swoich strojów, które szybko zostały skopiowane. Od jego imienia nazwany został typ kapelusza (Harrington hat) i płaszcza (Petersham overcoat). Podobno książę-regent zamówił po jednym egzemplarzu płaszcza Petershama na każdy dzień tygodnia. Ulubionym kolorem wicehrabiego był brąz. W tym kolorze posiadał większość ubrań i powóz. Brązowe były też stroje służby. Już jako hrabia Harrington wynajął , aby ten zaprojektował ogrody we wiejskiej rezydencji Stanhope'ów, Elvaston Castle. Hrabia zlecił też zmianę wystroju głównej sali, nazywanej od tamtej pory "Salą Pięknej Gwiazdy" (Hall of the Fair Star). 7 kwietnia 1831 r. w Elvaston Castle, poślubił Marię Foote (czerwiec 1798 - 27 grudnia 1867), córkę Samuela Foote'a, byłą aktorkę Covent Garden. Ich związek spotkał się z oporem ze strony starego hrabiego Harrington i był przedmiotem plotek wśród londyńskiej śmietanki towarzyskiej. Doszedł do skutku dopiero po śmierci ojca Charlesa. Miał on z Marią syna i córkę: * Charles Stanhope (13 grudnia 1831 - 8 kwietnia 1836), wicehrabia Petersham * Jane St. Maur Blanche Stanhope (14 maja 1833 - 28 listopada 1907), żona , miała dzieci (pl)
