Member-only story

(Not so?) shocking experiences from my four years at England’s elite boarding school. In anticipation of Prince Harry’s memoir.

Yeah, four long years. A bit traumatic at times:

But I survived. I can even say I flourished.

I thought I’d write this story in anticipation of reading Prince Harry’s memoir. I ain't a prince, but, hey, I experienced it intimately — England and its elite institutions:

Actually, Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend was from Stowe, the boarding school I went to.

I have a Whatsapp group with Stowe mates. Or rather my Walpole mates. Walpole was one of the boys’ houses at Stowe.
