Leo de Gale was born in St. Andrew's Parish, near Grenville, Grenada. He served as acting Governor of Grenada for two weeks before it officially achieved independence in February 1974 and he became Governor-General. He retired the year before the 1979 Grenada Revolution.
In the 1960s, Dame Hilda Bynoe who was the incumbent governor of Grenada appointed Leo de Gale as the acting governor of Grenada because she had to take care of some business in a foreign country.
