The second child of three, Elia is renowned for her charity work, even more than her mother. Though she attended the typical school like the other royal children, at the age of thirteen she decided to follow her mother around the world on her charity work. She was attended by a tutor to provide for her education. She shares with her mother a love of theatre, and is known for having a powerful soprano singing voice (unlike her mother's gentle sound). She performed at the launch of her mother's charity, singing the well-known song, Saltwater.
