Early life and education

Laurie was born on 11 June 1959, in the Blackbird Leys area of Oxford, England. He is the youngest of four children of Patricia (née Laidlaw) (1917–1990) and William George Ranald Mundell "Ran" Laurie (1915–1998), who was a physician and winner of an Olympic gold medal in the coxless pairs (rowing) at the 1948 London Games. He has an older brother, Charles Alexander Lyon Mundell Laurie, and two older sisters, Susan and Janet. Laurie had a strained relationship with his mother, whom he described as "Presbyterian by character, by mood". He later said, "I was frustration to her. She didn't like me."
