Grenville was born on 14 October 1712 at Westminster in London. He was educated at Eton between 1725 and 1728, going on to Christ church, Oxford in 1730. He was called to the Bar in 1735. In 1741 he was elected as MP for Buckingham, a pocket borough of his uncle Richard, Viscount Cobham. There were only thirteen electors.
Grenville thus became one of the main supporters of the Stamp Act, probably the most inflammatory of all British policies in America. The Stamp Act was passed in March 1765 but was never effectively implemented due to protest and noncompliance in America. Grenville lost the confidence of George III, who forced his resignation in July 1765.
