Born at Cape Town on 23 October 1935 to Ronald and Karin (nee Lindstrom), Napier's father was killed on active duty in North Africa in March 1944.[1] Napier was educated at Diocesan College in Cape Town and Eton College in England, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford to study law.[2]

While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Sussex at Oxford in 1956.[3]

Returning to South Africa after graduating, Napier held the positions of chairman of The Fire Protection Association and has served on the board of Business Against Crime, in addition to being a company director.[4]
