Hunloke was born in Marylebone, London, the only son of Philip Hunloke and the former Sylvia Heseltine.[1] He had two siblings, Alberta Diana Hunloke (wife of Sir George Paynter) and Joan Cecil Hunloke (wife of banker Philip Fleming, uncle of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond).[1]

His maternal grandfather was the painter and art collector John Postle Heseltine of Walhampton. His paternal grandparents were Capt. Philip Perceval and the former Ernestine Wellington Sidney (a daughter of Sophia Sidney, Baroness De L'Isle and Dudley, herself the eldest illegitimate daughter of William IV of the United Kingdom through his relationship with Dorothea Jordan).[2]

Hunloke was a keen amateur cricketer and played minor counties cricket for Wiltshire on eleven occasions from 1926 to 1928.[3]

On 28 November 1929, he married Lady Anne Cavendish at St Margaret's, Westminster.[6] Lady Anne was the youngest daughter of Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire. Before their divorce in 1945 on the grounds of his adultery, they lived at Montagu Square, London, and had three children:[7]

After their divorce, his wife remarried to Christopher Holland-Martin MP, and, after his death, the 10th Earl of Sandwich (who was the father of their son's wife).[10] He married again to Virginia Archer Clive, daughter of Percy Clive (a grandson of William Feilding, 7th Earl of Denbigh) and the former Alice Muriel Dallas, on 19 May 1945.[9] They lived at St. Catherine's Lodge in Wokingham and Pendower House in Cornwall. They had two children before their divorce in 1972:[9]

  • Clare Hunloke (1947–1964), who died at age 17.[9]
  • Sarah Hunloke (b. 1949), who married Antonio Corrêa de Sá, son of José Corrêa de Sá, 2nd Viscount de São Luis.[9]

He later made a third marriage, to Ruth Holdsworth, before he died in Marlborough, Wiltshire on 13 January 1978, aged 71.[9]
