The younger Browne accompanied his kinsman John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, to France in the summer of 1546, being given £40 towards his expenses by Henry VIII, and was knighted at the coronation of Edward VI.
Browne was re-elected for Petersfield, with Rithe, to the first Parliament of the new reign, after he had apparently rallied to Queen Mary.
Nothing is known of Browne's role in the Commons but he was an active member of the Lords: during Mary's reign he was regular in attendance and was frequently appointed to committees, including one in 1555 for the bill to punish exiles.
Browne took part in the questioning of the culprits, taking evidence in his own handwriting from one of the Queen's attendants and examining the Duchess of Norfolk about the relations between the Queen and Francis Dereham; he was one of the special commission which tried Dereham and Culpeper at Guildhall.
Browne was one of the seven Councillors who signed the letters patent of 12 Mar 1547 confirming Hertford's appointment.
Browne died at Byfleet on 28 Apr 1548 and was probably replaced as knight of the shire by Sir Thomas Cawarden.
