Leslie Jane Ferrar (born July 20, 1955) has been Treasurer to Charles, Prince of Wales since January 2005. Her alleged (but unsubstantiated) behaviour in office has led to her being dubbed 'the grasping treasurer' by a couple of members of the 'Tabloid' press.[1] [2]
Mrs Ferrar is the granddaughter of the author Bruce Marshall and Dr. William Ferrar (D.Sc.) former principal of Hertford College, Oxford. She married her longtime partner, David Unwin at the Lady Chapel, Westminster Cathedral on June 10th, 2011. She was educated at Woldingham School and Durham University where she graduated in Chemistry. In 1996 she attended Harvard Business School's Program for Management Development.
She joined KPMG in 1976, becoming a partner in 1988. Prior to joining the Prince of Wales office in January 2005, she ran the International Expatriates Services group at KPMG as Executive Tax Partner.
Miss Ferrar is a Director of Duchy Originals and is a trustee of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster.
