Charles Spencer is revisiting a traumatic chapter in his childhood in his new memoir, “A Very Private School.' Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana and a journalist and author, recalls his years at Maidwell Hall, a prestigious board school in England and a place 'without love,' per his book. Spencer alleges physical and sexual abuse by staff members at the prestigious boarding school.
Clearly, what I endured during five years in one of the most expensive private schools in England, during a time of solid political and economic stability, is not at all comparable with the terrible suffering of so many other children—now and in the past—forced to struggle to survive in landscapes of total despair. There is only the most tenuous of links between my privileged experience and the experience of those facing economic adversity and social exclusion: that of childhood trauma.
