In 1669 he became a member of the Privy Council .
Before 1660 he married Anne Middleton, daughter of Sir Thomas Middleton of Chirk († 1666). After her death, he married Elizabeth Brydges, daughter of George Brydges, 6th Baron Chandos († 1655) , in 1673 .
Herbert died in 1678 and was buried in Westminster Abbey . Since he had no sons, his younger brother Henry Herbert inherited his title of nobility. His widow married three more times after his death, namely William O'Brien, 2nd Earl of Inchiquin († 1692), Charles Howard, 4th Baron Howard of Escrick († 1715) and a "Mr. George".
