Honor’s father is Tilda’s former partner, John Byrne, a Scottish artist and playwright. She has a twin brother, Xavier Swinton Byrne, who so far has stayed out of the limelight.

According to a report in The Times, John Byrne’s parents were his mother Alice and her own father Patrick McShane – an incestuous relationship he’s since described as “traditional”.

In an interview, he said: “I think he gave me that wonderful mixture of genes with his own daughter, the eldest of the family. That’s what they do in Ireland. I presume it’s what they do in unlettered places, and lettered places. It’s traditional, and nobody speaks about it.”

Tilda Swinton’s daughter made her movie debut in The Souvenir, a 2019 American-British drama film that was written and directed by Joanna Hogg. It premiered to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2019.
