unless stated otherwise.
His eldest son, the nineteenth Earl, also served as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, an Office he held from 1874 to 1877 under Benjamin Disraeli.
He was succeeded by his son, the twentieth Earl. He caused a scandal in Victorian England by eloping with a married woman, Ellen Miller-Mundy. They were later married.
On his death, the titles passed to his grandson, the twenty-first Earl. He was the son of Charles John Alton Chetwynd-Talbot, Viscount Ingestre.
As of 2017, the peerages are held by the twenty-first Earl’s eldest son, the twenty-second Earl, who succeeded in 1980.
He is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sits on the Conservative benches.
He is also hereditary Lord High Steward of Ireland and as the holder of this Office is allowed to bear a White Staff at the Coronation of the British Monarch.
Lord Shrewsbury is the Senior Earl on the Roll in the Peerage of England (the more Senior Earldom of Arundel being held by the Duke of Norfolk).
The Earldom of Waterford is sometimes called the “Premier Earldom of Ireland on the Roll”, as the oldest Irish Earldom, that of Kildare, has been a subsidiary title of the Duke of Leinster for Centuries and the Earl held the oldest Irish Earldom held by anyone ranked as an Earl.

If the Viscount Mountgarret proves his presumed claim to the 1328 Earldom of Ormonde, the Earls of Shrewsbury would lose this distinction, but they derive higher precedence from their English Earldom in any event.
Despite holding three differently-named Earldoms, Lord Shrewsbury is always styled simply “The Earl of Shrewsbury”.
