“I think there’s two sides to the coin, you know. People like to say, ‘You’re getting ahead because your family is in the industry,’ but the other side of it is, you know, you have to push yourself. There’s more to prove,” she defined. “Plus, if people don’t have good experiences with other people in your family, you’ll never get a chance.”

And so I’ve always wanted to carve my own path,” she defined. “For me, fame has never been the goal, because at a certain level fame is scary.”

Roberts has previously stated that she has never aspired to achieve superstar status similar to that of her aunt.
She recommended a Tatler book in 2022, saying, “I never aspired to be like him. I love him very much. I love his work, but I’m just doing my thing.”
