==Personal==
Cameron was born in [[London]], but spent his early years near Wantage in [[Oxfordshire]], [[England]], though his family's roots lie in [[Inverness]], [[Scotland]], and "Cameron" is well known in Britain as a Scottish name.
Cameron was educated at [[Eton College| Eton]], which is generally regarded as Britain's most prestigious private public school(a "public school" in the UK referring to a privately run institution, as opposed to a "state school"), and at [[Brasenose College]], [[Oxford University|Oxford]], Britain's most ancient and prestigious university.
Cameron is self-descibed described as "upper middle class", though his bloodline is noble, and he is a direct descendent of William IV, and thus a distant cousin of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. His family has historically been involved in finance and banking, with his great0great grandfather being head of HSBC in the late 19th century, and worked alongside the Rothchilds to finance the Russo-Japanese war. His leadership and indeed his own party are supported by businesses, as opposed to the leftist liberal, socialist aligned Labour Party, led by the fellow Scotsman [[Gordon Brown]]; who are backed overwhelmingly funded and largely controlled by the [[trade union]]s. Many intervening leaders have been middle-class ([[Edward Heath]], [[Margaret Thatcher]]) or even working-class ([[John Major]]).His refusal reluctance to discuss his past, citing the right to a private life before politics<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4340328.stm</ref> has led to criticism class-based attacks on his education and ancestry from a small proportion of media sources and opposition MPs.
He has been married to Samantha since 1996, who is of direct noble bloodline, the daughter of 8th Baronet Sheffield, and descendent of Charles II. They have two sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Ivan Cameron, died on February 25, 2009.<ref>[[BBC News]] - [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7909562.stm Cameron's 'beautiful boy' dies]</ref>
