Bonham Carter was educated at St. Paul's Girls' School, an independent school in Brook Green, Hammersmith, West London, and at University College London, part of the University of London.
She worked in television, before she was created a life peer as Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury, of Yarnbury in the County of Wiltshire, in 2005.
She comes from a political family. Her great-grandfather was H. H. Asquith, the former Prime Minister, and her grandparents were Sir Maurice Bonham Carter and Lady Violet Bonham Carter (later Baroness Asquith of Yarnbury). Her father Mark Bonham Carter (later Lord Bonham-Carter) was a Liberal MP and a Liberal Democrat life peer. Her aunt Laura married Jo Grimond, a former Leader of the party. This is the only example of three generations gaining life peerages under the 1958 Life Peerages Act (the three judges Baron Russell of Killowen were created under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act of 1876).
She is a cousin of the actress Helena Bonham Carter.
