Lindy is a Balinese princess, whose late father was the prince of Denpasar, Anak Agung Oka Rama.

While she is a princess, Lindy said she feels like ‘a fraud’ as she grew up in Hobart and isn’t well-informed about her heritage.

‘My dad was Balinese and unfortunately I didn’t get to know him before he died. I feel a greater connection to him living here. I also want my children and I to connect with the Balinese side of us,’ she explained.
