Schiffer
began modelling in 1987, after being spotted in
a nightclub. Weeks later she appeared in Elle
claudia schiffermagazine. Within a short time
she modelled for Chanel. In the early 1990s she
starred in Guess jeans ads in North America. She
has appeared in around ten motion pictures.
Schiffer was long engaged to,
but never married, the magician David Copperfield.
On May 25, 2002 she married film producer Matthew
de Vere Drummond, né Matthew Vaughn, son
of George Albert Harley Drummond (also known as
George de Vere Drummond). |
It was widely reported
at the time of Claudia Schiffer's marriage that
one day she could become the Countess of Oxford
because her father-in-law was in line of succession
to the Earldom of Oxford and Mortimer. She is
disqualified on two counts: Matthew's illegitimacy
would bar him from any succession and George Harley
Drummond is not in line for succession as he is
not descended from the male line.
Claudia and Matthew have two
children, a son, Caspar Matthew De Vere Drummond,
born in London on January 30, 2003 and a daughter,
Clementine, born in London on November 11, 2004.
