Dick Strawbridge’s Children: From Rarely-Seen Son to Talented Artist Daughter

Fans of Escape To The Chateau have long enjoyed watching Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree renovate their beautiful French chateau, while following the lives of their children, Arthur and Dorothy, who often feature on the show. However, many viewers might not know that Dick has two other children from a previous relationship: James and Charlotte Strawbridge.

Dick, a former Army officer, married Angel in 2015, with a notable 19-year age gap between them. Alongside Arthur and Dorothy, his son James and daughter Charlotte have also made a name for themselves through their creative and professional pursuits.

James, 41, is a skilled chef based in Cornwall, who doubles as a food photographer and writer. Operating under the brand Strawbridge Kitchen, he develops recipes and food products for various brands. James also styles and photographs his own food creations, bringing his culinary art to life through striking visuals. He is well-known for his expertise in sustainable living, having appeared on TV programs such as The Hungry Sailors and It’s Not Easy Being Green. James even co-authored the book Practical Self-Sufficiency with his father. He lives on the South Cornish coast with his wife Holly and their three children.

Charlotte, aged 39, has built a career as a wildlife artist based in Stirlingshire. Her work draws deeply from the natural world, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British countryside and Scottish landscapes. On her website, she describes her art as embodying the tranquility and wisdom found in the “peace of wild things.” Charlotte shares her life with her husband Andy and their daughter, whom they keep away from the public eye. In addition to her painting, Charlotte is a talented photographer and has appeared on-screen alongside her father in the show It’s Not Easy Being Green.

While Arthur and Dorothy remain the most familiar faces to Escape To The Chateau fans, James and Charlotte’s accomplishments highlight the diverse talents and careers within the Strawbridge family.
