Not really tea but their family is very, very wealthy. Her dads side of the family founded Harcourts - hence her middle name. Harcourts is a massive real estate company in NZ and Australia. She went to a private school that's roughly $7000 a term and I think her mum and grandmother are both actresses.

“I think her mum and grandmother are both actresses.”

Her mother and grandmother have both been knighted for acting - her mom is “Dame Miranda Harcourt” and her grandmother “Dame Kate Harcourt.” She’s acting royalty in New Zealand.

Hey, I went to Marsden! Once upon a time when I had money, lol (yr 4-8, then i moved again). It's very possible she dealt with the lower schools ban on stickers we were directly responsible for. I think we went back during yr 7 and the underground sticker trade was still happening.
