Born at Dublin Castle, Arran was the eldest son of Colonel the Hon. William John Gore, second son of Arthur Gore, 2nd Earl of Arran, and his wife Caroline, daughter of Sir Thomas Hales, 4th Baronet.[1]
In 1820 Gore was sent as attaché to the British embassy in Stockholm, was transferred to Paris in 1825 and to Lisbon a year later.[1] There he was promoted to secretary of legation in 1828 and to Chargé d'Affaires in 1832.[1] He succeeded his uncle Arthur as earl in 1837 and was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick in 1841.
