After her education at schools in Southern England and in Switzerland, she trained as a nanny and did modelling work. Through her mother she is of Russian-Jewish and German descent. Personal life and family Hanley's grandmother was a photographer who, as Studio Lisa, had privileged access to the royal family, photographing both Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret in relaxed, family poses and the next generation, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward in informal shots. She also helped to launch the career of a male model who later became an actor, Roger Moore. Her brother, Sir Jeremy Hanley, had a career as an accountant and later became a Conservative Party MP.
