Early life

Charlotte Vega was born in Madrid and raised in London. Her parents are both British-born, although her paternal grandparents were from Andalusia. As a child, her father spoke Spanish to Charlotte and her brother, while her mother spoke English. When asked about her background, she said in a 2018 interview:

"I feel very Spanish at times and then other times I'll feel very British. Sometimes Spanish people can be very touchy and overly friendly and I can feel a bit more distant. Other times, I'll be with British people and think, oh they're very cold and distant and need some more Spanish in them!"

After enjoying improv classes, she left equestrian school at age 17 to focus on her acting career.[4] [5] [6]
