Born in Athens, Nicolson was the second son of Arthur Nicolson, 1st Baron Carnock, at that time chargé d'affaires at the British legation.[2] His mother was Mary Catharine, the daughter of Archibald Rowan-Hamilton, a soldier in the 5th Dragoon Guards.[2] In 1952, Nicolson succeeded his older brother Frederick Archibald Nicolson, 2nd Baron Carnock, in the peerage title of Baron Carnock, who had inherited their father's titles in 1928.[2] A third brother was the author Harold Nicolson.[2] When James Lees-Milne was writing his biography of Harold Nicolson, he visited Lord Carnock, at this point in his mid-nineties and living in a Devon nursing home; he "opined that Harold was a liar and a coward and not worth a biography".[3]

After the war he was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order in 1919[7] and received also the Order of St Anne of Russia.[4] He retired as a commander in 1924[8] and was nominated a Justice of the Peace for the county of Devon.[4]
Family
On 9 October 1919, Nicolson married Katharine Frederica Albertha, eldest daughter of Henry Lopes, 1st Baron Roborough.[9] They had three children, one daughter and two sons.[9] His wife died in 1968 and Nicolson survived her until 2 October 1982.[10] He was succeeded in the barony by his older son David Nicolson, 4th Baron Carnock.[10]
