Early Life and Education
Fellowes was born in Cairo, Egypt, the youngest son of Olwen (née Stuart-Jones) and Peregrine Edward Launcelot Fellowes, a diplomat and Arabist who campaigned to have Haile Selassie restored to his throne during World War II.
His childhood home was in Wetherby Place in South Kensington. And afterwards at Chiddingly in East Sussex, where he lived from August 1959 until November 1988 and where his parents are buried.
Fellowes was educated at several private schools in Britain: first at Wetherby School (Wetherby Place, South Kensington, London), then at St. Philip's, a Roman Catholic pre-preparatory school, also in Wetherby Place; and finally at the Catholic public school Ampleforth College. He went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he was a member of Footlights. He next studied at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art (London).

The rite of May.”

“We all come from our own little planets. That’s why we’re all different. That’s what makes life interesting.”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
