He is of Welsh descent on his mother's side. He is the younger brother of Lady Violet, Lady Alice, and Lady Eliza and the older brother of Lord Hugo.
Due to Agnatic Primogeniture, Manners will inherit his father's dukedom as eldest son of his father. Although his siblings will financially inherit from their father, the family estates of Belvoir Castle and Haddon Hall as well as the title of Duke of Rutland will go to him. As the oldest son of a duke, he is given one of his father's subsidiary titles, Marquess of Granby, to use as a courtesy. His parents separated in 2012.
He studied at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, followed by a degree in Business Management at Newcastle University.
