King Charles is countering Prince Harry’s claims by associating himself with Gordonstoun.
For the unversed, the monarch’s estranged Prince Harry suggested in his memoir Spare that the King’s “genetic pain” was caused by an unhappy childhood.However, it has been reported that the King has accepted a patronage from Gordonstoun, his former school in Scotland infamously portrayed in the Netflix series ‘The Crown’.
His Majesty has become patron of the Gordonstoun Association to mark the first anniversary of his Coronation, a role previously held by his father, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who also attended the school.
In Series 2 of The Crown, Gordonstoun is portrayed as a cruel and strictly disciplined institution that made a teenage Prince Charles’s life a misery.
In addition to the drama series following the lives of the Royal Family, schoolmates have reportedly claimed he was “mercilessly bullied” while enrolled at the school from 1962 to 1967.
