He was one of the most prominent black persons in Britain at the time. Born on St. Kitts he was taken to England at the age of ten. In 1764, he was given to Catherine Douglas (née Hyde), Duchess of Queensbury who gave Soubise a privileged life, treating him as if he were her own son. Soubise became the riding and fencing master to the Duchess.
