Ffion Llywelyn Hague, Lady Hague of Richmond (née Jenkins; February 1968) is a Welsh broadcaster, author, former civil servant, and wife of Conservative politician William Hague.[1] Born Ffion Jenkins in Cardiff, she is a native Welsh speaker and first became known when she was selected to teach the language to her future husband when he was Secretary of State for Wales.

She is the younger sister of Manon Antoniazzi, who served as the assistant private secretary for the Prince of Wales and is now Chief Executive and Clerk to the National Assembly for Wales.[2]

Early life

She attended Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, and then went on to study English at Jesus College, Oxford, and joined the Civil Service after graduating.[1] She belonged to the National Youth Orchestra of Wales and the National Youth Choir.[1]

Personal life

She met William Hague in 1995, when she became his private secretary at the Welsh Office. Because of the embarrassment caused by the previous Welsh secretary John Redwood, who was unable to sing the Welsh national anthem, it was decided that his successor should learn the words.[1][2]

They were married on 19 December 1997, at the Palace of Westminster, and currently reside in Richmond, North Yorkshire.[3] Her official title is The Lady Hague of Richmond. William Hague disclosed in 2010 that she had suffered a number of miscarriages as they tried to start a family.[4] They do not have any children.[4]

Career as broadcaster, writer and businesswoman

She is also a published author best known for her biography of David Lloyd George, entitled The Pain and the Privilege: The Women in Lloyd George's Life.[5] For S4C, she presented the series Mamwlad[6] (2012),Tri Lle (2010) and Dwy Wraig Lloyd George (2009). She has also presented programmes for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4.

Hague was a director of The Outward Bound Trust from 1 April 2009 until 7 December 2012.[7] She was a director of Hanson Green, an executive recruitment firm from 11 December 2003 until it merged with Directorbank on 1 February 2008.[7] Previously she had been a director of The Voices Foundation from 23 September 1998 until she resigned on 12 July 2005.[7]

She is currently a director of Brough Hall Management Company and Brough Park Management Company.[7]
