Lily’s father is actor Keith Allen, who left the family when Lily was just four years old in 1989. In her 2018 memoir My Thoughts Exactly, she wrote about his departure.
She wrote: ‘One of my earliest memories is of mom and dad breaking up. We were in our social flat in Bloomsbury…
Dad was saying, “Mommy and I are breaking up now.” “I was about four years old and I was thinking, ‘Does that mean we have to look for a new father?’ It was very hard on Mom. She was producing her first film and my brother, Alfie, was a difficult boy.
It was then that she met Harry, with whom she enjoyed her three-year romance.

In 2010, Harry opened up about his relationship with fame and how he mentored Lily, as well as the great interest in their relationship.
Speaking about the nature of fame, he told The Guardian: ‘You have to do a lot of interviews. It’s like what happened to Lily. [Allen] when she became famous…
‘Suddenly Lily is bleeding everywhere and she’s doing every damn interview, because she’s told to. You are young and you do it. Only afterwards do you become a little smart.
Asked if he told Lily to “keep her advice,” he continued: “Yes. Not well [that I’m asked about Lily rather than my three biological children]…
‘I don’t want to talk about my children. It’s one of the reasons why I thought if I could try being a writer, that would be nice, because I really don’t want my kids to grow up with me being famous.
After receiving critical acclaim for her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, Lily has shown she’s eager to stay in the theater world by taking on a role in the first major rival of the award-winning play. Olivier by Martin McDonagh. .
In a role in which Lily covers one side of her face in blood, The Pillowman will run for a limited time only, ending in early September.

“This black comedy, widely considered one of the best works of the last 25 years, examines the role of the artist in society and asks what price we pay for freedom of expression.”
Lily is the first woman to take on the title role of Katurian in the 2003 revival of the play, which follows the fiction writer imprisoned by a totalitarian state.
Starring alongside Steve Pemberton, who plays Tupolski, and Matthew Tennyson, who plays Michael, Lily plays the role previously played by David Tennant twenty years ago.
Speaking about the decision to cast a woman in the role, Lily said The Telegraph: ‘I think it will add an extra layer of horror, because we’re not used to seeing women beaten.
‘It will be shocking, in that sense. I also feel like men don’t necessarily get the same c**p for their artistic output as women.
The Pillowman follows Katurian as she is brutally interrogated by authorities after a series of murders bear similarities to her tales.
