Well Anchor, I am all for good state schools, i went to a grammar school (privately educated before that), husband and offspring were also educated at state grammar schools but that is in a way beside the point because private schools - or public schools as we call them -do exist whether we approve of the system or not. While they exist we must give them some credit for good education nor blame parents for sending their children to them. There's no point being bitter and angry about it.
Public schools vary tremendously & Eton is better than many, not only for education but for pastoral care. That is why it was chosen for the two royal princes whose mother was insistent on them going there, plus its proximity to London. You can't tar all the schools, or ex-pupils, with same brush.
What we can do is campaign strongly for better state schools. There are some very good ones but people deserve more. I've always understood that Scotland has higher educational standards than England.
We've gone off the point of what Prince Harry said in his podcast, which has nowt to do with what school he went to. His words have struck a chord with people across the board.
