The research note says “Wikipedia and other genealogical websites mention that Charles Sackville-Germain was a politician, however, no evidence to suggest that he was, has been found to date”.
This is correct if “politician” means an elected member of the House of Commons.
He may well not have been a terribly active politician, but he was a member of the House of Lords, and Master of the Horse for a time. The Master of the Horse, a member of the Royal Household, was a political appointment at that period - Cokayne says Master of the Horse (Tory). This post still exists but is no longer a political appointment. There are still a number of cases where government jobs such a whips in the House of Lords are, formally speaking, members of the Royal Household.
He is recorded in the House of Lords Hansard as voting on:
He voted on the same side as the Duke of Wellington in each case.
