Portland was the son of Henry Bentinck, 1st Duke of Portland and his wife Elizabeth Noel, daughter of Wriothesley Baptist Noel, 2nd Earl of Gainsborough . He succeeded his father in the dukedom as a teen in 1726.[1]
He was an original governor of the Foundling Hospital in London , founded in 1739, and was made a Knight of the Garter in 1741.
The Duke did not seek any public office, but focused on his family life at the family seat, Bulstrode Park .[1]
Portland is identified in The Handy-Book of Literary Curiosities (1909) as one of the perpetrators of The Great Bottle Hoax of 1749, in which a large crowd was lured to a London theatre with the expectation of seeing a man jump into a "quart bottle".[citation needed ]
