So you never really know where things are going to lead. Just a couple of days later, I was made a contributor for MSNBC. Once I had a really disastrous TV segment with Sean Hannity on Fox News, and the moment I left the building, I broke down in tears. Q: Did you tuck any life lessons into your new book?Ī: All you can do is be prepared, and do your best. “Decent” is the best word to describe him, and I would love to embody that as well. And to be decent: My grandfather was an extraordinary man, and one of the models for the character of James Bond, who worked with Ian Fleming behind enemy lines in France during the war. The most important thing is to work hard. Q: What money lessons would you like to pass down to future generations?Ī: That being entitled is a very dangerous thing. I’m not quite at that financial level yet, but when I die, that is where I want my money to go. I would love to help people get educated, because it opens so many doors. In America, they don’t care about what your name is, they just care about whether or not you are good at your job.Ī: I would one day like to help my alma maters - Queen’s College in London, and then Cambridge University. Once I worked alongside one journalist for six months, and she had no clue. What I appreciate about America is that sometimes people have no idea who my dad is. Q: In building your own career, did you find your famous name helped or hurt you?Ī: It certainly opens doors, but once they open, you have to work hard, or those same doors will slam in your face. I worked very hard, because I had seen my dad’s work ethic firsthand: Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail, but you just keep on working. My first proper job was as a data entry clerk in the summer, because at heart I’m a boring nerd. Q: Even though your father is very wealthy, did your parents keep you grounded about money?Ī: I was on a very strict allowance with my mom, so in that way it was a pretty normal life without much pocket money at all. On the other hand, I was just a regular London schoolkid living with my mom, taking the tube and having beans-on-toast for dinner. Q: Growing up in London with a unique set of parents, what life lessons were you absorbing?Ī: It was an amazing upbringing: On the one hand, I got to experience the crazy side of the world with dad, doing things like going to the Oscars.
