Sandra Howard

Sandra Howard, Lady Howard of Lympne (born 1940), is a British novelist and former fashion model best known as the wife of Michael Howard, Baron Howard of Lympne, who served as Leader of the Conservative Party from 2003 to 2005.^[1]^[2] Under her maiden professional name Sandra Paul, Howard emerged as one of the preeminent photographic models of the 1960s and 1970s, achieving the singular distinction of appearing on the cover of American Vogue for two consecutive months.^[3]^[4] After her modeling career, she pursued freelance journalism, contributing regularly to publications, before transitioning to fiction writing in her later years, producing novels such as A Class of Its Own (2005) and Love at War (2022) that often incorporate elements of her personal experiences in fashion, politics, and high society.^[5]^[6] Howard married Michael Howard in 1975 following her previous unions, and the couple have a son born in 1976 and a daughter born in 1977; she also has a son from an earlier marriage.^[2]^[7] As the spouse of a senior Conservative figure during his tenure as party leader and Shadow Chancellor, she supported his political endeavors while maintaining her independent career in writing, navigating public scrutiny without notable personal controversies.^[8]^[9]

Early Life

Childhood and Family Background

Sandra Howard was born in August 1940 in Malta during the Siege of Malta in World War II, at a time when her father, Saville Paul, an RAF doctor specializing in tropical medicine, was away fighting.^[10]^[11] Her mother, Rosalie Paul (née unknown), who had trained as a doctor but never practiced professionally after marriage, managed alone amid frequent air raids and nearly delivered Sandra in a shelter.^[11] The family, including an older sister Carmelita (born circa 1937, died 2009 at age 72), evacuated Malta when Sandra was 10 months old via a perilous convoy through torpedo-infested waters, where she was christened aboard ship.^[10]^[11] Her father's RAF career necessitated frequent relocations, leading the family to live in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Singapore, and later Devon in England during the post-war period.^[12]^[13] Saville Paul advanced in the service, eventually becoming director-general of the RAF's medical services, though he died of a heart attack at age 50 while working as a general practitioner in Devon.^[8] Rosalie Paul, who had studied medicine at the same college as Margaret Thatcher (a decade earlier), supported the family as a teacher after her husband's death, emphasizing self-reliance; the parents, both medically trained, offered little sympathy for the children's minor ailments.^[14]^[11] Raised primarily abroad in the waning years of the British Empire, Sandra experienced an itinerant childhood marked by her parents' prioritization of family over individual careers, with her mother forgoing professional practice post-marriage.^[12]^[14] She later described herself as incredibly shy during this Home Counties-educated phase, shaped by the disciplined, service-oriented environment of her RAF family background.^[8]

Education

Sandra Howard received her early education at Lynton House in Maidenhead, where she recalled a happy experience.^[15] Due to her father's career in the Royal Air Force, her schooling involved multiple moves, including attendance at a small private school near Market Drayton, Shropshire, where she prepared for grammar school entrance exams, and Devizes Grammar School at age 11, which she described as a positive year.^[15] She later attended Croydon High School, a girls' grammar school, though her memories of it were less distinct.^[15] In 1956, amid her father's posting in Singapore, Howard completed her O-levels at Alexandra Grammar School, where an armed guard escorted students to classes due to ongoing riots; she achieved a high mark in Latin but failed mathematics.^[15]^[15] For A-levels, she enrolled at Ursuline Convent in Brentwood, Essex, studying English, Latin, and biology, but left after more than a year to pursue modelling; she completed her English A-level via correspondence course.^[15] A childhood stammer limited her participation in class discussions, leading teachers to avoid calling on her.^[15] Howard did not attend university, later expressing regret over forgoing higher education in favor of a charm and secretarial course at Lucie Clayton Finishing School, which facilitated her entry into modelling.^[15]^[7]

Modeling Career

Rise to Prominence in the 1960s

Sandra Paul, who later became known as Sandra Howard, entered the modeling industry after training at the Lucy Clayton Modelling Agency in London, a prominent finishing school that prepared young women for careers in fashion and society.^[16] Her entry into professional modeling occurred somewhat serendipitously in the early 1960s, following an initial discovery that led to assignments with leading photographers.^[17] By age 18, operating under the professional name Sandra Paul, she secured international work, including a notable early shoot in 1960 at the Temple of Delphi in Greece, approximately 100 miles north of Athens, which marked one of her first overseas modeling engagements.^[8]^[18] Paul's ascent accelerated through high-profile fashion editorials and advertisements, positioning her among Britain's top models during the Swinging Sixties era. She appeared in campaigns such as a Lux soap advertisement, where her image was used extensively despite modest compensation of £5, contributing to her visibility in consumer media.^[10] Collaborations with renowned photographers, including Norman Parkinson, elevated her profile, as did features in publications like Harper's Bazaar alongside contemporaries such as Jean Shrimpton.^[13]^[19] Her work extended to Tatler and other society magazines, reflecting the era's blend of high fashion and social glamour.^[20] The pinnacle of her 1960s prominence came with consecutive covers of American Vogue, a rare achievement that underscored her status as one of the decade's leading photographic models. Photographed by Irving Penn for the March 1964 issue, these covers—spanning two months—highlighted her as the only model to accomplish this feat in succession for the publication, cementing her international recognition amid competition from figures like Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy.^[21]^[16]^[22] This exposure, drawn from editorial shoots emphasizing elegant, poised aesthetics, aligned with the period's shift toward aspirational yet accessible fashion imagery.^[4]

Notable Encounters and Achievements

Howard's entry into high-profile modeling occurred in the late 1950s when, at age 18 and working under the name Sandra Paul, she was unexpectedly dispatched to replace an ailing model for a Vogue photoshoot with esteemed photographer Norman Parkinson; the resulting image marked a turning point, accelerating her prominence in the industry.^[17]^[23] She went on to collaborate with other leading photographers of the era, including David Bailey and Terence Donovan, producing fashion spreads for major publications such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.^[2]^[18] A hallmark achievement came in the mid-1960s with her successive cover features on American Vogue, reportedly the only model to accomplish this consecutively during that period, underscoring her status among the decade's top fashion figures.^[21]^[24] Her work extended to international locations early on, including a 1960 assignment at the Temple of Delphi in Greece, highlighting the global reach of her assignments amid the era's burgeoning fashion scene.^[8] These milestones positioned her as a key participant in London's swinging 1960s modeling world, though she later reflected on the profession's demanding and serendipitous nature.^[17]

Personal Life

Marriages and Relationships

Sandra Howard's first marriage was to Robin Douglas-Home, nephew of former Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home, in 1959; the union lasted until their divorce in 1965.^[25] The couple had one son, Sholto, born during the marriage.^[7] It was characterized by instability, including Douglas-Home's repeated extramarital affairs, one of which Howard reportedly discovered involving a marchioness.^[8] Her second marriage, to publicist David Wynne-Morgan, began in 1966 and ended in divorce after four years.^[7] Wynne-Morgan later described Howard's first marriage as particularly challenging but offered no further details on their own relationship.^[8] Howard's third marriage was to advertising executive Nigel Grandfield in approximately 1970; it dissolved prior to her meeting Michael Howard.^[8] The brief union overlapped with the start of her relationship with her future fourth husband.^[2] In 1975, Howard married barrister Michael Howard, whom she had met at a Red Cross ball; she separated from Grandfield to pursue the relationship.^[2] The couple honeymooned with her son Sholto from her first marriage and later had two children together—a son born in 1976 and a daughter in 1977—bringing their combined family to three children.^[14] This marriage has endured, with the Howards residing in London and Kent.^[5]

Children and Family Dynamics

Sandra Howard has three adult children from two marriages. Her eldest son, Sholto Douglas-Home, is from her earlier marriage to Robin Douglas-Home. She shares son Nicholas Howard and daughter Larissa Howard with her husband Michael Howard, whom she married in 1975. Nicholas, born circa 1985, converted from Judaism to evangelical Christianity at age 15 and pursued theological studies, including at Oxford University where he engaged in outreach efforts to Jewish students. He later sought ordination in the Church of England but faced rejection from Cranmer Hall due to his conservative views on issues like homosexuality, which he attributed to institutional liberalism; he now serves as an Anglican minister in New York.^[26]^[27] Larissa Howard, born circa 1987, is married to Conrad and has three children: Jasper, Theo, and Layla. Sholto is married to Alex, with whom he has children including Louis and Tallula. Howard has described her family as independent, noting in a 2017 reflection that modern grandchildren often require less hands-on grandparenting due to structured lives and self-sufficiency, contrasting with more traditional roles.^[28]^[8]^[29] The family maintains close ties despite the blended structure, with Michael Howard forming a strong bond with stepson Sholto, whom he treats as his own. Public appearances, such as during Michael Howard's 2005 Conservative leadership phase, showed unified family support, with Sholto, Nicholas, Larissa, and Sandra applauding together. Howard has highlighted family gatherings for milestones like her 80th birthday in 2020, involving children, partners, and grandchildren, underscoring enduring dynamics amid her transitions from modeling to political spouse and author.^[7]^[30]^[31]

Political Associations

Marriage to Michael Howard

Sandra Paul, then married to advertising executive Michael Grandfield, met Michael Howard, a barrister, at a Red Cross ball in 1970.^[32] The two began a relationship that led to her divorce from Grandfield, and they married in 1975.^[33] Their union produced two children: a son, Nicholas, born in 1976, and a daughter, Larissa, born in 1977.^[7] Michael Howard entered Parliament as the member for Folkestone and Hythe in 1983, eight years after the marriage, marking the start of Sandra Howard's role as the spouse of a Conservative politician.^[12] She accompanied him through his rises to Home Secretary in 1995 and party leadership in November 2003 following Iain Duncan Smith's resignation.^[8] During the 2003–2005 leadership period, media outlets highlighted her background as a former model and her poised public presence as adding glamour and a humanizing element to Howard's stern image, potentially aiding the party's appeal amid efforts to modernize.^[2] ^[14] Sandra Howard maintained a supportive but non-policy-oriented role, focusing on social engagements and family stability while Howard led the opposition until his resignation in December 2005 after the general election defeat.^[34] The marriage endured, with Howard later entering the House of Lords as Baron Howard of Lympne in 2010, continuing their shared public life into later years.^[33]

Role During Conservative Leadership

Sandra Howard assumed a visible supportive role during her husband Michael Howard's leadership of the Conservative Party, which spanned from November 6, 2003, to December 7, 2005. She contributed to efforts to soften the party's public image, leveraging her background as a former model to appeal to voters through personal appearances and media engagements. In October 2004, she became the first wife of a Conservative leader to speak at the party conference, addressing a fringe meeting on the significance of family values in political life.^[35] Her involvement intensified ahead of the May 5, 2005, general election, where the Conservatives positioned her as a key campaign asset. On March 2, 2005, the party disclosed plans for her to conduct solo visits to marginal constituencies, independent of her husband, to engage directly with voters and emphasize relatable Conservative priorities such as family and community.^[36]^[37] This marked a departure from traditional spousal roles, with party strategists viewing her poise and background as countering perceptions of the Conservatives as detached or overly stern.^[14] Despite these efforts, analyses of the campaign indicated that her appearances did not significantly shift polling trends in favor of the Conservatives, who secured 198 seats compared to Labour's 356.^[38] Howard's resignation followed the election defeat, after which Sandra Howard largely withdrew from frontline political activities.^[14]

Literary Career

Transition to Writing

Sandra Howard's transition to fiction writing built upon her earlier experiences in freelance journalism, which she began during her modeling career in the 1960s and 1970s. While working as a fashion model, she contributed articles to publications such as Harper's Bazaar and She, driven partly by discomfort with being identified solely as a model.^[31]^[1] This journalistic foundation provided her with writing discipline, though she lacked formal creative writing training and later described completing an English A-level via correspondence course amid her early professional demands.^[1] Following her 1975 marriage to Michael Howard and amid his rising political profile, she sustained freelance journalism while managing family life, but increasingly pursued longer-form narrative work. By her late 50s, Howard had drafted multiple versions of what became her debut novel, Glass Houses, a process spanning four to five years of self-taught trial and error.^[39]^[40] Published in 2006 by Simon & Schuster, the book marked her entry into novel writing at age 66, motivated by a long-held desire to author fiction and to counter lingering perceptions of her as superficial due to her modeling past.^[41]^[33]^[40] This shift represented a deliberate pivot from ephemeral journalism and public scrutiny as a political spouse to sustained creative output, allowing Howard to draw on personal observations of relationships, ambition, and social dynamics without relying on institutional support. Her persistence in refining manuscripts independently underscored a commitment to craft honed through decades of professional adaptation.^[21]^[6]

Major Publications and Themes

Sandra Howard debuted as a novelist with Glass Houses in 2006, a tale of intrigue among London's elite involving hidden affairs and social climbing.^[42] Subsequent works include Ursula's Story (2007), which delves into a woman's wartime experiences and postwar reinvention; A Matter of Loyalty (2009), centering on espionage-tinged betrayals in diplomatic circles; Ex-Wives (2012), examining rivalries and reconciliations among former spouses in high society; Tell the Girl (2014), focused on family secrets and inherited traumas; The Consequence of Love (2017), portraying romantic sacrifices amid personal dilemmas; and Love at War (2022), a historical narrative inspired by real events of romance, loss, and resilience during World War II in Cairo and East Africa.^[42]^[43] These publications, spanning contemporary and historical fiction, reflect her transition from modeling and journalism to authorship in her mid-60s.^[4] Recurring themes in Howard's novels emphasize the complexities of intimate relationships, including deception, loyalty, and the emotional toll of ambition.^[44] Strong female protagonists frequently navigate moral ambiguities, societal pressures, and intersections between private desires and public roles, often drawing on settings of glamour, politics, or wartime upheaval.^[45] For instance, conflicts between love and duty recur, as seen in The Consequence of Love, where characters confront heart-wrenching choices, and A Matter of Loyalty, which probes trust amid potential treason.^[44] Her narratives avoid overt sensationalism, favoring understated suspense and character-driven explorations of resilience, influenced by her own observations of elite social dynamics.^[46]

Reception and Critical Views

Sandra Howard's debut novel, Glass Houses (2006), elicited mixed responses from critics, with some praising its engaging romantic plot and insider glimpses into political life while questioning its originality and political coherence. The Guardian's Ted Nemko described it as "a lot sexier than her husband’s last manifesto," noting its racy elements and ability to surpass many formulaic romances in reader engagement, though he raised doubts about authorship due to acknowledgments of assistance from a writing coach and critiqued the confusing blend of political references across eras.^[41] Similarly, The Independent lauded Howard's skillful weaving of plot strands into an "exciting narrative" with interesting characters, highlighting the novel's smooth execution.^[47] Subsequent works, such as Ursula's Story (2007), continued to draw attention for themes of marital breakdown and public scrutiny but received more lukewarm assessments, often characterized as light, airy explorations of middle-class dilemmas lacking deeper literary ambition. The Financial Times observed that the novel offered "little of the night" in its depiction of Home Counties marital issues, positioning it as accessible but unremarkable domestic fiction.^[48] Later novels like The Consequence of Love (2017) and Tell the Girl (2014) garnered modest praise in outlets such as the Daily Express for their suspenseful takes on relationships and deception, drawing on Howard's modeling and journalistic background, yet critics and readers frequently noted formulaic elements akin to commercial women's fiction.^[49] Reader reception, as reflected in aggregated ratings on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon, has been consistently average, with her novels scoring between 3.0 and 3.9 out of 5 stars across titles, indicating entertainment value for fans of light suspense and romance but limited appeal for those seeking profound character development or innovation.^[50] Critical commentary often contextualizes Howard's output through her marriage to Michael Howard, former Conservative Party leader, emphasizing how political adjacency infuses her narratives with topical intrigue, though this has not elevated her to sustained literary acclaim beyond niche popularity in UK popular fiction circles.^[46]

Later Life and Legacy

Post-Political Activities

Sandra Howard has sustained long-term commitments to charitable organizations focused on addiction recovery and epilepsy support. For many years, she served as a trustee of Addaction, a charity dedicated to helping individuals overcome drug and alcohol addiction.^[4] She also holds the role of Vice-President of Young Epilepsy, contributing to efforts aiding children and young people with the condition.^[21] These involvements reflect her ongoing public service outside formal political spheres.^[39] In the years following 2005, Howard has engaged in public speaking events, primarily discussing her literary works alongside reflections on her modeling background and experiences in 1960s London.^[51] She remains active on social media, sharing updates on personal travels, such as a 2025 visit to [Easter Island](/page/Easter Island) to explore its moai statues, underscoring a continued interest in global exploration.^[13] These pursuits align with her post-2005 shift toward independent endeavors, distinct from her earlier role as a political spouse.^[52]

Reflections on Aging and Public Life

Sandra Howard has candidly discussed the challenges of aging, noting that the process has not been one she has particularly enjoyed, as it brings daily physical reminders such as stiffness, creaky joints, and hearing loss, which underscore her advancing years.^[53] She has remarked that "life is easier when you’re pretty," reflecting on the loss of youthful attention, including casual compliments like wolf whistles, which she misses from her modeling days.^[54] In her 50s, following early menopause and the decline of her modeling career, Howard felt "cast adrift; an empty shell," highlighting a period of identity adjustment after relying on her appearance as a primary "tool of trade."^[54] Despite these struggles, she advocates acceptance, stating that "the ageing process is not a beautiful woman’s friend but you have to accept it" and that one must "bow to the laws of gravity and time."^[53] A pivotal incident in 2022, when Howard fractured her sacrum in a fall at age 82, intensified her awareness of aging's vulnerabilities, leaving her hospitalized and prompting reflections on mortality and dependence.^[55] She described the event as a "sobering lesson," realizing she was "not invincible after all" and fearing she might become a burden to her family, which led to a resolve to exercise greater caution in daily activities.^[55] This experience contrasted with her self-image as a "tough old bird," marking a shift toward acknowledging physical limitations in her later years.^[55] In reflecting on her public life, Howard has expressed a retrospective wish for the wisdom of age during her youthful modeling career in the 1960s, when she traveled extensively and had notable experiences, such as staying with Frank Sinatra in California, but lacked the canniness to fully navigate opportunities.^[31] Upon turning 80 in 2020, she viewed the milestone pragmatically, asserting that "80 is only a number" and emphasizing the importance of maintaining appearance and humor to sustain happiness, while committing to maximize remaining time despite past "mistakes and emotional upsets."^[31] Her public visibility, once tied to her husband's political career as Conservative leader Michael Howard, has evolved into literary pursuits, where she began writing novels at age 60 and achieved success with six published works, finding renewed purpose and "excitement" in this late-career endeavor.^[56] Howard continues to engage publicly through travel and writing into her mid-80s, as evidenced by a 2025 trip to Easter Island—despite "aching creaky joints"—and plans for Antarctica, underscoring her belief that aging allows greater freedom for such pursuits when health permits.^[13] She maintains that "you’re only as old as you feel," using tools like makeup to bolster confidence during these activities, and encourages others that it is "never too late" for new beginnings, drawing from her own transition to authorship amid personal history reflections.^[56]^[54] This active stance reflects a balance between acknowledging aging's realities and rejecting passivity in public and personal spheres.^[13]
