He succeeded to the earldom of Clanwilliam following the death of his father, the 7th Earl, in 2009.

Educated at Eton College and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.,[3] Meade started his business career with Hanson plc and has since been the director of a number of FTSE 100 companies. He is the owner (with an 80% shareholding[4]) of the lobbying firm Meade Hall & Associates.

Meade is active in the Conservative Party. Sitting as a councillor for two terms in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Meade is now a Conservative Party donor and sponsored a table costing some £1,000 per person at the party's 2013 Summer Ball.[5]
