She said that people just assumed that she did not work hard for anything and that she just got what she wanted, but in reality, it was the complete opposite.

Carys confidently debates Italian cinematography and reads biographies of the Maharaja of Jaipur, proving to the interviewer that she was not like any other 15-year-old.

The teenager credited her mother, Catherine Zeta-Jones, with giving her a love of fashion and she considers her mother to be her fashion icon.

She also acknowledged her parents for their role in keeping both her and her eighteen-year-old brother Dylan Douglas, grounded.

She added that her parents do a really good job of making her realize the reality of life and reminding her that the life she has was extraordinary.
