While she was still young, the Rhys-Jones family moved from Wales to Brenchley, Kent.

She began her education at Dulwich Preparatory School, before moving on to Kent College, Pembury where she was friends with Sarah Sienesi, with whom she subsequently shared a flat in Fulham and who later became her Lady-in-Waiting.

She then trained as a secretary at West Kent College, Tonbridge.
