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