Robinson has juggled her family - three children and a husband - with the responsibilities of her roles as President and High Commissioner. She stresses the importance of spending time together with the family, trying to live a normal life.

 "I do think it's very important for me that my family remains as close as we have always been and one way I must say is a very determined wish on all sides, a wish on my children's part, my husband and myself is to keep them out of the limelight and to be as private as possible and to let them lead as ordinary lives as they always did with their friends - it's as normal as can manage and we also spend as much time as possible together."
