Family of David Cameron

Relatives of the former UK prime minister and former foreign secretary, David Cameron, feature throughout the law, politics and finance as well as being connected with the British aristocracy.

The younger son of stockbroker Ian Donald Cameron (12 October 1932 – 8 September 2010), his mother Mary Fleur née Mount (22 October 1934 – 2 February 2025), a Justice of the Peace, was the second daughter of Sir William Mount.

His father, Ian Cameron, was born with both legs deformed and underwent repeated operations to correct them. Cameron's parents were married in 1962. Born in London (although sometimes incorrectly reported as being born at Blairmore House near Huntly, Aberdeenshire), his father was brought up at Peasemore, Berkshire, and died near Toulon in France on 8 September 2010. Ian's paternal grandmother was Rachel Margaret Geddes, whose family were seated at Blairmore.

According to the Feminist Times, as a magistrate, Mary Cameron gave prison sentences for anti-nuclear weapons protesters at the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp.

Cameron has two sisters, Tania Rachel (born 1965) and Clare Louise (born April 1971).

His elder brother, Alexander Cameron (1963–2023), died of cancer.

His wife Samantha, the elder daughter of Sir Reginald Sheffield and Annabel née Jones (now Viscountess Astor), is descended from an illegitimate son of John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby.

Lady Cameron of Chipping Norton, maternal granddaughter of the Hon. Sir Bede Clifford, also counts among her relatives numerous English noble and gentry families.
