Caroline's maternal grandparents are George and Olivina Hurrell from Kolofo'ou, Tongatapu. Her parents are Elizabeth and John Grint, who live in London, United Kingdom.

Caroline's interest in classical music developed at a young age, when she started learning to play the clarinet at nine years old. At the age of 16 years she attained her performance diploma, and gained a place in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, where she performed at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, London, and the Berlin Konzerthaus.

Caroline is also a keen artist. During her time at Cambridge she produced concert posters, and recently completed a commission to design the cover for a trilogy of books on Women Composers.

The family are especially proud as Caroline's younger sister, Jennifer, has also achieved a place at Cambridge, studying Psychology.
