Born the fifth son of Sir Frederick Eden, Eden joined the Royal Navy in 1821.[1] He was given command of the fourth-rate HMS Winchester in 1842 and the flagship HMS Victory in 1847.[1]

From 1848 to 1852 he acted as Private Secretary to George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland and Sir Francis Baring, 3rd Baronet, successively First Lords of the Admiralty. [2] He succeeded his cousin Henry Eden to that position.[2]

He took command of the second-rate HMS London in 1853 and saw action in the bombardment of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.[1] He was awarded the Order of the Medjidie 3rd Class in 1858.[3]

He then became Comptroller-General of the Coastguard in 1855, Third Naval Lord in 1859 and Second Naval Lord in 1861.[1] He was promoted to Rear-Admiral in 1861[4] and to Vice-Admiral in 1866.[5] He was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in 1863.[6]

He was placed on the Retired List in 1870[7] and elevated to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the 1873 Birthday Honours.[8]

He died in Spring Gardens, Westminster in 1878.[9]
