India Hicks, 43, started life well, as goddaughter to Prince Charles. She followed that up by getting together with David Flint Wood, moving to the Bahamas and raising four children. She has designed a number of guesthouses, writes interiors books and, four years ago, became a creative partner at Crabtree & Evelyn, launching the Island Living and Island Night lines.
