Early Life
Born in England, the daughter of British Army Major Aldred Rowden and his wife Muriel Christian (née Maitland-Makgill). Her parents separated and she moved with her mother and two younger brothers, Maurice Edward Alfred and Cecil William Aldred Rowden, to southern France when she was still a young girl. She attended schools in Sanremo and Cannes on the French Riviera, but her family soon returned to England, settling at Hadlow Down, near Mayfield, East Sussex, where she continued her education at Manor House School in Limpsfield, Surrey. In 1933, she returned to France and enrolled at the Sorbonne, before finding employment as a journalist in Paris.
