Royal Lineage

I was born and raised in the prestigious Webb Estates in Purley, Surrey, U.K., I am a British Aristocrat with documented lineage dating back to Henry VII founder of the House of Tudor. As the great-great-granddaughter of Lady Ethel Cecil and Sir James Cockburn, our family name is renowned for the world-famous Cockburn Port from Portugal.

Additionally, my lineage includes William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, a prominent statesman and trusted advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. You can see my family's history through a portrait of William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, hanging at the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square London. Another painting of Lady Cockburn and her Three Sons hangs at the National Gallery, also in Trafalgar Square London.

I have written 9 books all encouraging the love of kindness, faithfulness, and prayer. My current book in my “Robins” series is based on the power of prayer and healing. I believe through our Lord Jesus Christ anything is possible with faith hope and love. My Christian faith brings me to volunteer at Coastal Church Vancouver where I also voice-over scriptures for their social networks.

As a child, I trained with The Royal Ballet at the esteemed Elmhurst Ballet School in the U.K. Later I trained at the London Studio Centre under the guidance of Madame Bridget Espinosa. Today I narrate books for award winning authors as well as writing and narrating my own Christian children’s books.
