Denman was born in London as the son of a court clerk, and was educated at Sandhurst, intending a military career. He unexpectedly inherited his title from his great-uncle in 1894.

The Denmans arrived in Sydney in July 1911. They found Andrew Fisher's Labor government firmly in control.

But Denman found that he had less real political influence than any previous Governor-General. As Australia, along with the other Dominions, achieved political maturity, the Prime Minister communicated directly with his British counterpart, cutting the Colonial Secretary and the Governor-General out of the loop.
