A son of Sir Charles Doughty, QC and Lady Alison (née Addison) Doughty, one of four siblings. Educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, Doughty was called to the bar in 1926 by the Inner Temple. During the Second World War, he saw service with the Coldstream Guards.

He was Member of Parliament for East Surrey from 1951 to 1970. It was he who in 1954 persuaded then Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill to go through with the presentation of his famous but disliked portrait by Graham Sutherland to avoid offending the members of Parliament who financially contributed to it.[1]

In 1955, he succeeded to his father as Recorder of Brighton, serving until 1971, becoming honorary recorder afterward.

Doughty married fellow Conservative Party member Adelaide Baillieu Shackell (1908–1986), on 29 July 1931[2] at St Margaret's, Westminster.[3] They had a son and a daughter.[2] She served from 1967 to 1968 as Chairperson of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations. In 1978 she was named President. She was appointed a Dame in 1971.
