He was the son of Robert Sidney, 4th Earl of Leicester and Lady Catherine Cecil. In 1734, he was appointed Chief Porter of the Tower of London by his older brother John Sidney, 6th Earl of Leicester, then Constable of the Tower. He succeeded his brother in that year, but died without legitimate issue in 1743, when the titles of Earl of Leicester and Viscount Lisle became extinct.
