Early Life & Education
Beauchamp was born Claude Frank Beauchamp at Grandes-Piles nearby the Quebec city of Shawinigan, on January 6, 1939. The nearby city is where future prime minister was born. Beauchamp was the son of Quebec native Jean-Luc Beauchamp and El Paso, Texas native Ethel (née Castro) Beauchamp. His family was a rich one.

Because of him coming from a rich family, he wasn't able to attend one of the "college classique" schools in Quebec at that time, and went to the finest schools in Canada. When he graduated high school, he said farewell to his hometown and went to New Haven, Connecticut to attend Yale University.
