Life
Philippa Perry was born in 1957, in Warrington, Cheshire, and educated at boarding school and at a Swiss finishing school. She worked as a litigation clerk, an enquiry agent, a McDonalds’ employee and she also went to Middlesex Polytechnic and gained a degree in Fine Art as a mature student. Married to Turner Prize winner, Grayson Perry in 1992, she is often asked what it is like being married to a transvestite - “Being the wife of a trannie is great, he always makes me look fantastic”. When asked the same question by a Buckingham Palace Press Officer when the Perrys went to a reception there in 2005 she said, "As obsessions go, it's better than football".
