He was first appointed to the household of Prince George as Gentleman of the Bedchamber and Master of the Horse. He later served as Lord Chamberlain to Caroline, Princess of Wales, and subsequently as Lord of the Bedchamber to her husband as King George II.

Family life
On 9 February 1703, Bridgewater married his first wife Lady Elizabeth, daughter of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough; they had two children:
John Egerton, Viscount Brackley (b. 1703/4, d. 1718/9) died at age 14 at Eton College, Windsor, Berkshire, England. He was buried on 5 February 1718/19 at Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, England. He was styled as Viscount Brackley between 1704 and 1719.
Lady Anne Egerton (d. 1762), married first Wriothesley Russell, 3rd Duke of Bedford and, secondly William Villiers, 3rd Earl of Jersey.

On 4 August 1722, Bridgewater married his second wife Lady Rachel, daughter of Wriothesley Russell, 2nd Duke of Bedford, by his wife Elizabeth née Howland; they had seven children:
Lady Louisa Egerton (30 April 1723 -14 March 1761), married Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford.
Lady Caroline Egerton (b. 21 May 1724).

Lady Diana Egerton (3 March 1731/2 -13 August 1758), who married Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore on 9 March 1753. The union was not a success, and the couple spent most of their married life apart. They had no children, and in May 1756 they were formally separated, due to an "incompatibility of temper". In 1758, Lady Diana "died from a hurt she received by a fall out of a Phaethon carriage", while accompanied by her husband. Although Lord Baltimore was suspected of foul play, no charges were ever brought.
Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater (21 May 1736 -8 March 1803).
