Born Clement Cooke in Holborn, the only son of Robert Whall Cooke of Brighton, Sussex, he was educated at Brighton College, and at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he read mathematics and law. He was called to the bar in 1883 by the Inner Temple, whereupon he joined the Oxford Circuit, and became Treasury prosecuting counsel for Berkshire. Later he was legal advisor to the House of Lords Sweating Commission and private secretary to Windham Wyndham-Quin, 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies (1885–87). He was also examiner under the Civil Service Commission for factory inspectorships.[1][2]
Cooke followed with an active career in journalism, writing and editing for English Illustrated Magazine, the Observer, the Pall Mall Gazette, and the New Review. He wrote on imperial and colonial subjects. During this time he also wrote an authorised memoir of Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, Duchess of Teck, and a biography of Mary of Teck. He founded the Empire Review in 1901 and that connexion remained for the remainder of his life.[1][2]
Cooke assumed the additional surname of Kinloch in 1905, which was also the year that he was initially created a knight bachelor. From that time a career in politics followed.[1]
He was created a Knight Commander in the Order of the British Empire in 1919, and a baronet of Brighthelmstone, Sussex in 1926.[1]
