So this is Harry’s RED HAIRED uncle. All that crap about Harry being illegitimate because he’s a red head and they think his mother rallied with some red headed guy seems a little silly, doesn’t it? Harry’s a bit of a buffoon, but I would be too if I had to live my life under a microscope, including having my mother killed in such a public way.

All his wealth and he doesn’t hire an investigator to confirm dead or alive?

seeing some people question the sentences used by Earl Spencer written up like some kind of romance novel..albeit with a sinister twist.

It is odd..such as...

“’While we kissed, one night, she reached under my bedclothes, trailing her fingers in teasing, looping circles down my stomach until alighting on the little that an 11-year-old boy can muster,’ he writes. ‘The first time she touched me there, she placed my hand on her breasts, and I could feel her pounding heart beneath.’”

seems the Great Earl Spencer is a bit of a Cad.

https://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/28/world/diana-s-brother-learns-that-the-tabloids-bite-back.html

“True, the tabloids have a great deal of ammunition in their campaign to declare Earl Spencer Public Enemy No. 1. In a statement to the court this week, his wife said that he admitted to sleeping with ‘’10 or 12 women’’ while she was in a clinic receiving treatment for alcoholism and eating disorders. She also said that he chose a moment when he was reclining in the bath to tell her he wanted a divorce, he did not love her and she was ‘’no good as a wife.’’

Furthermore, it was apparently not clever of the Earl to ditch the woman for whom he left his wife. The spurned mistress, Chantal Collopy — a South African whose now-former husband sued the Earl for the loss of his wife’s love and affection — has joined forces with Lady Spencer. The two women have compared notes and declared the Earl to be an out-and-out rat with uncannily consistent behavior patterns.”

Looking forward to reading this to see if I get any mentions.

Maidwell Hall was an academically unremarkable school for the sons of the landed gentry. The headmaster enjoyed thrashing bare buttocks on the slightest pretext, but I enjoyed the sports and the setting was beautiful.

CS wasn’t a sporty kid. That’s why his memories are probably more focused on the loneliness and emotional neglect. His parents also divorced a few years before he went to Maidwell which didn’t help.

King Charles did not have a happy time as boarding school. He was bullied. This kid does not look happy

some sad but interesting replies to the old tweet from Earl Spencer

I cant help thinking that boarding schools have a potential to be pretty harmful even if you are not abused

Future training ?
It was Churchill himself who said the Royal Navy of old was held together by “Rum, buggery and the lash”.
