He subsequently served as ambassador to Korea and then China, completing the circle by living in the same house in Beijing where he grew up.
President James Carter, the great-grandson of President Jimmy Carter selected Beauchamp to serve as his Chief of Staff. Serving for both full terms, he became the longest-serving Chief of Staff in American history.
His family traces its lineage to William de Beauchamp (of Elmley), c1105–c1170. He was an Anglo-Norman baron and sheriff and was the first Beauchamp to become Earl of Warwick. Earl of Warwick is one of the most prestigious titles in the peerages of the United Kingdom. Sir Edward Beauchamp (Liberal Party Member of Parliament), Lady Evelyn Beauchamp (one of the first people in modern times to enter the tomb of Tutenkhamun), George Beauchamp (American inventor of musical instruments and co-founder of Rickenbacker) and Sailor First Class George Beauchamp (Titanic survivor) are all direct ancestors.
