He was styled Viscount Hinchingbrooke from 1672 until his accession to the earldom in 1688. On the accession of Queen Anne, Sandwich was appointed Master of the Horse to her husband, Prince George of Denmark, despite strong objections from the royal favorite Sarah Churchill, who wanted the office for one of her own family.
