Carew seems to have made interest to be appointed his successor, as we meet with a draft patent to that effect, but the grant does not appear to have been passed.
Carew's own attitude to the divorce, and to the King's relations with France and the Empire, was ambivalent: loyal to Queen Catalina and Princess Mary, he was none the less regarded as a friend of France.
Yet Carew had also won the confidence of the Pope and the Emperor at Bologna, and at the time of this mission Queen Catalina had assured the Emperor of her trust in Carew's loyalty to herself and to the imperial cause.
His father, Thomas Carew of Antony House, in the parish of East Anthony, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Edgecombe, and their eldest son, Richard, was born at Anthony House on 17 Jul 1555.
He was one of the deputy-lieutenants of Cornwall, and he served under Sir Walter Raleigh, the lord-lieutenant of the county, in the posts of treasurer of the lieutenancy and colonel of the regiment, five hundred strong, which had for its charge the protection of Cawsand Bay.
