Emily Jane Flora Helen Stuart was born in The Linn of Dee, near Braemar,
Scotland on the 28th January, 1987, the only daughter of the second son of
an old Scots Family. Know to everyone as Emily and to her few
friends as “ej” she spent her very early years in the Glens and
Mountains of Royal Deeside, often in the company of the Men of her
Fathers regiment.
At seven years of age she was sent to an English Preparatory school near
Oxford, where she was seen very much as a tomboy, and where her love of
music was formed and the school values of honesty, politeness and
integrity were instilled, and where a stubborn streak and a volcanic
temper were first discovered.
Emily joined Cheltenham Ladies College at twelve years of age and was
immediately perceived as a rebel finding it difficult to fit into the
school way of doing things, she was involved in various unfortunate
incidents and her relationship with the school was terminated after only
three terms.
