Prudence Murdoch

Murdoch has three children, all by her second husband, Alasdair MacLeod: James (b. London, 1991), Angus (b. London, 1993) and Clementine (b. London, 1996), who all were educated and now reside in Sydney.

In 1989 Murdoch married Alasdair MacLeod, an Eton educated businessman who would shortly begin working for his new father-in-law, Rupert Murdoch. Prudence was strongly against MacLeod working in her family business, but Rupert offered MacLeod a job behind her back.

In 1985 Murdoch married Crispin Odey, an English financier who would go on to become the highest-earning hedge fund manager in London. The pair were married only briefly, separating and divorcing within 15 months of their marriage. They had no children.
