The British royal family is in the international media spotlight due to all the new events that have been taking place in recent months. From King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, to Prince Harry's controversies, to the secrecy about Kate Middleton's state of health, there is a lot of information that emerges day after day.
And, if all this were not enough, an agent who had remained in the background for a long time joins: Charles Spencer. The little brother of Diana of Wales is about to publish her memoirs called A Very Private School, of which some details are already known.
This book will focus on the time he lived in a boarding school in the United Kingdom when he was just a child. "It took me 4 years to write it, after many interviews and conversations with my schoolmates in those 1970s, and after reading the letters I sent home, my diaries and my school reports from that time," he assured a few weeks ago to via Instagram.
Among other things, and as revealed by The Sun, Lady Di's brother describes how he paid a sex worker £15 to lose her virginity during a family trip to Italy. The most striking thing about this is that it happened when she was 12 years old. The Earl of Spencer explains that he found her in a corner and decided to go to her. However, he later felt "empty and cold" and could not have sexual relations with anyone again until he was 17 years old.
But that is not all. Among the pages of his memoirs he wants to capture the sexual abuse he suffered during his school period, which he describes as "casual cruelty, sexual assault and other perversions." Charles Spencer confesses that this happened to him when he was only 11 years old and that it was from a young assistant at the Maidwell Hall boys' preparatory school.
"This woman's control over the hypnotized children was total, because we were hungry for feminine warmth and desperate for her affection," describes the count, according to the aforementioned media. "The effect of what she did to me was profound and immediate, awakening basic desires in me that had no place in someone so young," he adds.
And it is not the only bad experience he had during his childhood. Lady Di's brother has also revealed the problems that both he and his sister suffered with his nanny. In her memoirs she explains how the young woman threatened to hit her head if they were naughty: "she introduced fear and pain into our pampered lives."
A harsh story that will be released in its entirety on March 14 in the United Kingdom and that promises not to leave anyone indifferent. This will be the eighth book by the Earl of Spencer, and at the same time one of the hardest.
