Paul Hamilton is the husband of a British journalist, broadcaster, and correspondent for BBC News, Reeta Chakrabarti. This article lets us learn more about Reeta Chakrabarti husband Paul Hamilton, children, sister, and family.
Chakrabarti was born to an Indian Bengali family in Ealing, London, and raised in Birmingham.
She spent her teenage years in India, where she attended the Calcutta International School in Kolkata.
From 1984 to 1988, Chakrabarti studied English and French at Exeter College, Oxford, including a year in France.
Chakrabarti reflected on her time at Oxford, saying, “I had a great experience there. At the time, there weren’t many people from my background attending university. However, that didn’t stop my experience from being fantastic.”
Chakrabarti joined the Breakfast Programme on the newly created BBC Radio 5 Live in 1994 as a reporter.
She went on to serve as a general news correspondent for both television and radio.
Chakrabarti was named Chancellor of York St John University in October 2019, succeeding Dr John Sentamu.
She began her new job in March 2020. In November 2021, she and colleague newsreader Clive Myrie appeared on BBC Two’s Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
She is an admirer of poet John Keats, and on the BBC television quiz Celebrity Mastermind on December 22, 2016, she chose this as her speciality subject.
Congratulations to everyone receiving their degrees! ????@YorkStJohn @YSJUNews @juliaunwin @reetacbbchttps://t.co/hE6NReGsU9

Who Is Reeta Chakrabarti Husband Paul Hamilton?
Chakrabarti is married to Paul Hamilton, a Queen Mary University of London professor of English.
They have three children and live in North London.
Paul can be found on Twitter as @PaulHamilton50.
While Reeta likes her life in the spotlight as a journalist, little information about Paul or his work is available.
Paul, unlike Reeta, is not a frequent Twitter user; his most recent tweet was in May.
We could not locate Paul’s Instagram account, and it looks that Reeta does not have one either.
