Union Jack. This page is quite interesting as it has quotes from TCT about her early careers. View of the gods - Livemint

The numbers just don't stack up.
According to the quote her second day at the FO was in 1981, and "a couple of years into the job" she "cut the rope on two great careers and went to South Africa at 19".
So at 19, she had done a couple of years at the FO and had a great career as a diamond valuer at DeBeers before that. Was she child labour at DeBeers?

She then goes on to say that she worked as a waitress/model to save up some money but headed back to London from Jo'burg in 1982. Then by the time her family went to NZ in 1983, she already had her CPL.
