Medlar's mother was also a model, and she and her husband divorced in 1965 after twelve years of marriage. Lord and Lady Lucan toured Europe for over a year following the divorce, ending up in Paris where they rented an apartment in Avenue Foch. During their stay in Paris Medlar attended boarding school at Collège La Pérouse during the day while his parents spent their time in their luxury home in Avenue Foch in Paris' 16th arrondissement.
Medlar went to boarding school in France during the day when he attended Collège La Pérouse between 10am-1pm then returned to Avenue Foch when his parents returned around 4pm.

Medlar would go to boarding school every day after lunchtime between 10am-1pm again, returning home again when his parents returned from their apartment at around 4pm.
Medlar lived with his mother after his parents divorced because she was too busy with her modelling career.

During this time he visited London without permission to attend boarding school but instead moved into what used to be called "The Closet" within his father's townhouse at 85 Eaton Place which is now known as "Closet Court".
