Waller was the son of Edmund Waller, MP of Beaconsfield and his wife Mary Aislabie, daughter of John Aislabie and the brother of MPs John Waller and Edmund Waller. He was possibly educated at Eton College from 1742 to 1748[1] and matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford aged 18 on 11 June 1751.[2]

In the 1761 general election Waller was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Chipping Wycombe on his family interest. He was returned unopposed at all his subsequent elections in 1768, 1774, 1780 and 1784. He was Groom of the Bedchamber from 1784 to 1801.[1]
