Sir George Godolphin Osborne, 8th Duke of Leeds was the eldest son of the 1st Baron Godolphin and his wife, The Hon. Elizabeth Eden. The 6th Duke of Leeds was his uncle, and the 7th Duke of Leeds was his cousin.
When his father became Baron Osborne in 1832, George became known as The Hon. George Osborne. He then inherited his father's title in 1850, becoming the 2nd Baron Godolphin; therefore Lord Godolphin.
In 1859, he inherited the dukedom from his cousin, Francis, the 7th Duke of Leeds, becoming His Grace The Duke of Leeds.
