Born on April 20, 1985, he is the youngest of five brothers in the Cavill family, which makes him the younger brother of actor Henry Cavill.

Who Is Charlie Cavill?

Charlie Cavill’s full name, Charles Edward Dalgliesh Cavill, reflects the family’s use of Dalgliesh as a middle name — a detail shared with at least one of his brothers. He goes by Charlie in both personal and professional settings.

Although he was born and raised in Britain, Charlie has made Canada his home. His public profile is firmly rooted in entrepreneurship rather than entertainment, which sets him apart from the association many people initially make when they encounter his surname. He is the youngest of five brothers, and family profiles consistently identify him in that role within the Cavill household.

Cavill & Wicks — the Business He Built with His Wife

The clearest window into Charlie’s professional life is Cavill & Wicks, the candle and home-fragrance company he co-founded with his wife Heather. The business is Canadian-based and was reportedly launched around 2020.

Cavill & Wicks positions itself around non-toxic, sustainable products — candles and home fragrances designed with families in mind, particularly households with children, pets, or sensitivities to standard fragrance ingredients. The brand has worked with a digital PR agency on marketing campaigns, which is how some of the most concrete documentation of the business entered the public record.

For Charlie, Cavill & Wicks represents the most independently documented chapter of his career. It is a business he and Heather have built together, and it reflects a direction that has little to do with the entertainment industry his older brother is known for.

His Background in Film Production and Business

Before Cavill & Wicks became his primary focus, Charlie had a foothold in film production. UK Companies House records show that Charles Edward Dalgliesh Cavill served as a director of Promethean Productions Limited, with his appointment recorded in November 2014 and his resignation in May 2021. That directorship is the most formally documented element of his production-related career.

Various secondary profiles describe him as a producer and entrepreneur, and some also note a background in business-related studies at the University of the West of England. The specific subjects he studied are reported inconsistently across sources — with marketing, accounting, finance, and economics all mentioned at different points — so it is safest to note the university connection without overstating what course of study he completed.

Taken together, the available record suggests someone who moved through production and business roles before settling into the entrepreneurial path he is on today.

The Cavill Family

Charlie is the youngest of five brothers. The others are Henry Cavill, Piers Cavill, Niki Richard Dalgliesh Cavill, and Simon Cavill. Their parents are Colin Cavill and Marianne Dalgliesh Cavill. The family has strong ties to Jersey in the Channel Islands, where the brothers grew up.

Henry, who is best known for playing Superman in Warner Bros.’ DC films and the lead role in Netflix’s The Witcher, is by far the most publicly prominent sibling. That prominence tends to draw attention to the wider Cavill family, which is how many people first come across Charlie’s name. But the brothers have each taken their own paths, and Charlie’s has led him away from the spotlight and toward business in Canada.

Charlie Cavill’s Life in Canada

Charlie is married to Heather Cavill, also referred to in some profiles as Heather Palmer Cavill. Together they have built both a family and a business in Canada. Multiple secondary sources report that the couple have four children, though names and other personal details about their family have not been publicly confirmed through primary sources.

Their base is Canada, with various reports referencing Alberta and other Canadian locations. Readers looking for coverage of the family’s business ventures can find reporting on Canadian consumer brands and entrepreneurship through resources like First Business Mag, which covers stories in that space.

Charlie has largely kept his personal life out of public view. What is documented — the candle business, the former production company directorship, a family in Canada — paints a picture of someone who has made deliberate choices about how publicly to live, even as his brother’s career has kept the Cavill name in the headlines.
