Her paternal grandmother, Mary Frideswide, was the daughter of Charles Robertson, a stockbroker and benefactor of St Philip's Priory, Begbroke and one of the co-founders of Westminster Cathedral.[8] Her older sister is Louise Mensch, a chick lit author and former Conservative Member of Parliament. She has another sister and a brother.[9]
