Attenborough was educated at Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys in Leicester. [18] He won a scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge in 1945 to study geology and zoology and obtained a degree in natural sciences. [19] In 1947, he was called up for national service in the Royal Navy and spent two years stationed in North Wales and the Firth of Forth. [13] In 1950, Attenborough married Jane Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel. The couple had two children, Robert and Susan. Jane died in 1997. [20] Robert is a senior lecturer in bioanthropology for the School of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University in Canberra. [21] [22] Susan is a former primary school headmistress. [18] Attenborough considers himself an agnostic. [149] When asked whether his observation of the natural world has given him faith in a creator, he generally responds with some version of this story, making reference to the Onchocerca volvulus parasitic worm: White, Peter (25 September 2018).
