His first name is in honour of his first cousin once removed, Charles, Prince of Wales; his second name is in honour of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, the birthplace of his mother; and his third name is in honour of the 17th century English architect and designer Inigo Jones, who is said to be his father's personal hero.

In 2012, his great aunt Queen Elizabeth II appointed him to be her First Page of Honour. In September of the same year, he began to attend Eton College, Berkshire.
As a member of the extended British Royal Family Armstrong-Jones attends events such as Trooping the Colour and Christmas at Sandringham. He also attends other events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Ascot Races.
