Personal Life
Davies makes no mention of when he was born, his early years or even his place of birth in his autobiography, although official public records give his place of birth as Islington in London. During the war he was evacuated to Gloucestershire.
Davies lives in Datchet in Berkshire, England, with his wife, Penny, a former British Airways stewardess, to whom he has been married since 1968. They have two children: a son, Mark, who briefly followed in his father's footsteps as a sports reporter on BBC Radio 5 before becoming a senior executive with the on-line bookmakers Betfair; and a daughter, Giselle, an amateur gymnast, who moved into public relations with the Jordan Formula 1 Team before becoming the IOC's Director of Communications.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
