Madeleine Astrid Gurdon, Baroness Lloyd-Webber (born 30 November 1962) is an English former equestrian sportswoman and the third and current wife of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Early life
Madeleine "Gurtie" Gurdon was born in 1962 to a British Army officer, who later retired as a Brigadier, and his wife. Gurtie was educated at a convent[2] and was an equestrian competitor for nearly a decade, riding in three-day events in Princess Anne's set.[2] To supplement her riding career, Gurdon designed an exclusive country-wear company that featured leather and suede clothing [2] called The Done Thing, after her favourite dun horse. Gurdon met Lloyd Webber through his Watership Down neighbours, who loved horses. [3]
Personal life
Gurdon married Lloyd Webber at his Hampshire home on 9 February 1991. They have three children together: Alastair (born 1992), William (born 1993) and Isabella (born 1996). The family currently resides in London[4] and Hampshire.[5]
