Alexandra CampbellAlexandra Campbell was among a handful of girls who, in the early 1980s, exchanged a convent education for Eton College, from where she gained an Exhibition to Oxford to read Modern Languages (German and Italian) at St Hilda's College. Upon graduatio, Alex pursued a City career on the European Equities desks of two global banks - Kleinwort Benson and the Swiss Bank Corporation - but later moved into financial public relations. Subsequently, she became a parliamentary researcher and editor, and has recently been involved in a number of writing projects: she has contributed to a book on William Waldorf Astor for Flammarion in Paris and is currently researching for further biographies set during the First World War and the early 20th century. In 2015, she delivered the Founder's Day speech at Dryburgh Abbey for the Royal British Legion of Scotland. Coincidentally, her father won an MC in Italy in 1945 while serving with the Lothians and Border Horse Yeomanry - Esmond Elliot's first regiment after Eton. She is married with three children and lives in London. Read More Read Less
