In 2018, Goldsmith was appointed non-executive director at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

He had a high-profile marriage to Rothschild heiress Kate Emma Rothschild which ended in 2012. The split gained tabloid headlines in the UK after being dubbed the first "Twitter divorce" for playing out on social media via posts on Twitter.
