When his father Carteret, he was still under age.
He is said to have come of age in 1671. Since the Sark court refused to let an Anglican to power, Philippe had to request the British crown to dissolve the court in 1675. When such was done through the Order in Council of 1675, the Seigneur of Sark instated a jurisdiction composed of a Seneschal, Greffier and Prevot.
Carteret married Elizabeth (1660–1717), daughter of Sir Edward De Carteret Seig De Trinity.
