Family
Moffat is the great-great-granddaughter of the actor-manager and RADA founder Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Her great grandfather was the artist and designer Curtis Moffat, and her great grandmother was the poet Iris Tree. Her grandfather was the screenwriter and producer Ivan Moffat.
Her paternal grandmother was the Hon. Katharine Smith, who was married to Ivan Moffat from 1961 to 1972. Katharine Smith was the daughter of businessman William Henry Smith, 3rd Viscount Hambleden (of the W H Smith family), and his wife Patricia (daughter of the 15th Earl of Pembroke and lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother). Through the Pembroke line, Moffat descends from the celebrated Russian aristocratic family of Vorontsov. Count Semyon Vorontsov, the Russian ambassador to Britain, brought the family to London in 1785.
Moffat's maternal grandfather is Laurie Sawle, a former Australian cricketer and chairman of selectors for the Australian national cricket team.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Our children need to be able to see us take a stand for a value and against injustices, be those values and injustices in the family room, the boardroom, the classroom, or on the city streets.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Providing for one’s family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for “doing the best” for his children?”
—Eva Figes (b. 1932)
“It’s a family joke that when I was a tiny child I turned from the window out of which I was watching a snowstorm, and hopefully asked, ‘Momma, do we believe in winter?’”
—Philip Roth (20th century)
