Biography
Born Matilda Emily N. Bagshawe on 12 June 1973 in Lambeth Hospital, London,[1] is the daughter of Nicholas Wilfrid Bagshawe & Daphne Margaret née Triggs.[2] Her father comes from a family of Catholic gentry;[3] his grandfather was the marine artist Joseph Richard Bagshawe, who was himself grandson of one of the 19th century's most renowned marine artists Clarkson Stanfield,[4] and a nephew of Edward Gilpin Bagshawe, Catholic Bishop of Nottingham. 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.[5] Her older sister is Louise Bagshawe Mensch, a Chick-Lit author and former Conservative Member of Parliament. She has another sister Alice and a brother, James.[6]
She was educated at Woldingham School, Surrey, and while there she became pregnant. At seventeen, she was a single mother of a daughter, Persephone (aka Sefi), but she finished her studies and at the age of eighteen, she went up to St John's College, Cambridge with her ten-month-old daughter in tow.[7]
Married with Robin Nydes, a US businessman, they live between their homes in London and Los Angeles, with her daughter Sefi, and their sons Zac and Theo.
Now a freelance journalist and novelist, she is a regular contributor to The Sunday Times, Daily Mail and other major British publications.
