Where Are Anna Wintour’s Children Now? A Look at Charles and Bee’s Lives Beyond Fashion
Though known as the iconic editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour is also a devoted mother to two accomplished children: Charles and Bee Shaffer. Unlike their famous mother, both took unique paths far from the fashion industry — yet remain deeply connected to her life and legacy.
Charles Shaffer: A Life in Medicine and Family
Born in 1985, Charles Shaffer pursued a career in psychiatry, earning his M.D. from Columbia University. He met his wife, Elizabeth Cordry, at Oxford. The couple wed in 2014 at Anna’s 42-acre estate and now have two daughters, Caroline and Ella Rose.
Though he keeps a low public profile, Charles occasionally joins his mother at high-profile events, including the Met Gala and Wimbledon. With a private yet meaningful life, Charles has embraced fatherhood and medicine, offering a grounded contrast to Anna’s high-fashion world.
Bee Shaffer Carrozzini: Creative Spirit in Entertainment
Born in 1987, Bee Shaffer chose storytelling through film and television. She previously worked on Late Night with Seth Meyers and now produces films. In 2018, she married director Francesco Carrozzini, son of the late Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani. They welcomed their son, Oliver, in 2021.
Despite once distancing herself from Vogue, Bee often appears with her mother at fashion and theater events. She’s known for her timeless elegance, wit, and warm humor—traits she credits partly to Anna, whom her son affectionately calls “Anna,” not grandma.
Together, Charles and Bee reflect a different legacy — one rooted in family, purpose, and independence beyond the pages of fashion magazines.
