The niece of the esteemed Earl of Dudley, she was a free spirit from a young age, often finding herself at odds with authority figures. Her academic journey was marked by controversy, as she was expelled from two separate institutions, once for her bold response to a teacher who reprimanded her for giggling in church. This incident only added to her reputation as a rebellious and fiery individual.
Following her A-levels, she was sent to the City of Light to study the French language, but her stay in Paris was short-lived, as she opted to pursue a career in modeling instead. Her early life was marked by a sense of disconnection, as she was initially raised by a nanny and later sent to a boarding school where she felt unfulfilled.
Seeking a change of scenery, she traveled to Italy at the age of 17 to study art, a passion that would stay with her throughout her life. However, her artistic endeavors were soon interrupted by a stint in America, where she worked as a vendor selling yoghurt cones on the streets of New York City.
Eventually, she returned to London, where she began to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. She earned her Equity card by performing a one-woman show in various pubs and clubs throughout the city, showcasing her versatility and talent as a performer. Her act, which involved stripping down to a revealing camisole and suspender belt, was marked by its use of four-letter words and left a lasting impression on her audience.
Today, she is married to Henry John Fitzroy Somerset, the son of the 11th Duke of Beaufort, a union that has brought her a sense of stability and happiness. Despite her tumultuous past, she has emerged as a strong and confident individual, unafraid to speak her mind and pursue her passions.
