His eldest son, the second Baron, was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baron. The latter was succeeded by his son, the fourth Baron (who had four daughters). As of 2014 the titles are held by his nephew, the fifth Baron, who succeeded in 2007. Lord Borwick is the eldest son of the Hon. Robin Borwick, third son of the third Baron.
