Nicholas Mosley has been married twice and is the father of five children. He lives in London. He is a half-brother of Max Mosley, former President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), a non-profit association that represents the interests of motoring organisations and car users worldwide and is the governing body for Formula One and other international motorsports.
Mosley began to stammer as a young boy, and attended weekly sessions with speech therapist Lionel Logue in order to help him overcome the speech disorder. Mosley says his father claimed never really to have noticed his stammer, but feels Sir Oswald may have been less aggressive when speaking to him than he was towards other people as a result.
Mosley was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford and served in Italy during the Second World War, winning the Military Cross for bravery.
He succeeded as 3rd Baron Ravensdale in 1966 on the death of Irene Curzon, 2nd Baroness Ravensdale, his mother's sister. On the death of his father on 3 December 1980, he also succeeded to the Baronetcy. In 1999 he lost his seat in the House of Lords due to the House of Lords Act 1999.
His father, Sir Oswald Mosley, founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932 and was a supporter of Benito Mussolini.
Sir Oswald was arrested in 1940 for his antiwar campaigning, and spent the majority of World War II in prison. As an adult, Nicholas was a harsh critic of his father in Beyond the Pale: Sir Oswald Mosley and Family 1933–1980 (1983), calling into question his father's motives and understanding of politics. Nicholas' work contributed to the 1997 Channel 4 television programme titled Mosley based on his father's life. At the end of the mini-series, Nicholas is
portrayed meeting his father in prison to ask him about his national allegiance.
