LifeThe second son of John Stanhope of Elvaston, Derbyshire, his elder brother was the MP Thomas Stanhope and his younger brother William Stanhope, 1st Earl of Harrington. Entering the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar in 1703. He succeeded his elder brother Thomas to the family estates in 1730.[1] Stanhope was the cousin of James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope who made him his under-secretary in 1714. He stood for Parliament at {{constlk|Milborne Port}} in a by-election on 10 June 1717, and though initially defeated, he was seated on petition as Member of Parliament on 6 July 1717. He served as Secretary to the Treasury from 1717 to 1721. James Stanhope and Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland were investigated over dealings in South Sea Company stock after the Bubble, and Charles Stanhope also; but he avoided the ruin of political career that came upon Sunderland.[1] At the 1722 general election Stanhope was given the safe seat of {{constlk|Aldborough}} by the Duke of Newcastle, being returned unopposed then and at the 1727 general election. He was elected MP for {{constlk|Harwich}} in a contest at the 1734 general election, but did not stand in 1741.[1] He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1726.[2] He died unmarried in 1760. His closest relative was his nephew William Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Harrington.
