Career
[edit]Hague was a director of the Outward Bound Trust from 1 April 2009 until 7 December 2012.[2] She was a director of Hanson Green, an executive recruitment firm from 11 December 2003, until it merged with Directorbank on 1 February 2008.[2] Previously, she had been a director of The Voices Foundation from 23 September 1998, until she resigned on 12 July 2005.[2]

Personal life
[edit]She met William Hague in 1995, when she became his private secretary at the Welsh Office. Because of the embarrassment caused by the previous Welsh secretary John Redwood, who was unable to sing the Welsh national anthem, it was decided that his successor should learn the words.[1][5]
They were married on 19 December 1997, at the Palace of Westminster, and currently reside in Richmond, North Yorkshire.[6] When her husband was raised to the peerage in 2015 as Baron Hague of Richmond, she became The Lady Hague of Richmond. William Hague disclosed in September 2010 that she had suffered a number of miscarriages as they tried to start a family.[7] They do not have any children.[7]
In 2015 the couple became owners by purchase of Cyfronydd Hall near Welshpool, Wales. [8]
