She grew up with siblings in Belgravia- an affluent area of central London. Later she left for boarding school at nine due to her parents’ divorce.
Delevingne was educated at Francis Holland School for Girls in Central London up until she was 16. In the Vogue interview, Delevingne spoke about her battle with depression. She mentioned when she was 15: “I came crashing down and hit rock bottom as soon as I started modeling.”
She also talked about how hard it is to have dyspraxia- a complex developmental communication disorder that mainly affects body movements. After receiving treatment, Delevingne said that this condition has not stopped her from doing anything. Cara thanked her teachers for their dedication, support, and belief in her ability.
