Soumaya Keynes (born July 31, 1989) is an English actress who has appeared in various productions for BBC Radio 4.
Her parents are writer Randal Keynes and Zelfa Cecil Hourani. Her maternal grandfather, Cecil Fadlo Hourani, is a famous writer of Lebanese descent, and the brother of Albert Hourani, also a well-known writer and professor. Through her father, Soumaya is the great-great-great granddaughter of the famous scientist Charles Darwin. She is the older sister of actor Skandar Keynes, best known for starring as Edmund Pevensie in the 2005 film version of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Since his voice broke during the filming of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Soumaya had to voice some of his lines. She graduated from Westminster School in 2007 and is now studying economics at Trinity College, Cambridge where she will no doubt come across the Keynesian economics of her great-great-uncle John Maynard Keynes.
Her college parents are Thomas O'Neill and Prith Hallikeri, who are supervised in neurology and human behaviour by her uncle, Prof. Roger Keynes.
