Stevens is the founder of the first British pirate radio station Radio Caroline, the former publisher of Queen Magazine, the managing director of the Evening Standard and Daily Express newspapers, and the chair of English Heritage. He is currently married to a descendant of the family which owned the Titanic.

Poppy's father is property developer Charles Delevigne. Her younger sister Cara has just been signed to model as well.
