Walsh was the eldest son of the 2nd Baron Ormathwaite and his wife, Katherine, a daughter of the 7th Duke of Beaufort. He was educated at Eton College. In 1876 he was commissioned a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal South Wales Borderers Militia, and promoted to lieutenant later the same year. In 1878 he transferred to the Regular Army as a second lieutenant in the 1st Life Guards and was later promoted to lieutenant. In 1887 he left the Regular Army and became a second lieutenant in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry, serving until 1890.

In 1885, Walsh entered Parliament as Conservative MP for Radnorshire and held the seat until his defeat by Liberal Francis Edwards in 1892. On 26 July 1890, he had married Lady Clementine Pratt, the only daughter of the 3rd Marquess Camden.

In 1892 he became an equerry in waiting to The Queen. In 1897, he was briefly Comptroller of the Household to The Duchess of Teck before her death that year and he carried her coronet at her funeral. He served as a Gentleman Usher (1902–1905) and Groom-in-Waiting (1905–1907) to King Edward VII and was Master of the Ceremonies from 1907 to 1920 and Lord Lieutenant of Radnorshire from 1917 to 1921.
