[quote=Anonymous]They are all mental because they were raised by completely absent parents and often shipped off to be raised in institutions by 3rd grade. But those parents were raised the same way themselves and had nothing else in the toolbox. Somehow, British upper classes got the idea over the centuries that this state of affairs was somehow desirable. "Stiff upper lip" and all that. Children were possessions that you trotted out to interact with for 1 hour a day before putting them back upstairs with the nanny, seriously. This was thought to be good practice. Being a Leo Kanner "refrigerator mother" was desirable. They didn't know any better, like with bloodletting or "miasma theory."

Read some memoirs of these boarding schools or watch the BBC documentary "The Making of Them." It's on YouTube. Upper class parents literally shipped their kids off to "the right" boarding schools where there was a total Lord of the Flies culture of bullying, both by other kids and staff, molestation, and beatings. Is it any wonder they're all messed up and can't sustain normal relationships now? Money doesn't buy happiness and in some cases ruins it.

It's a uniquely British weirdness, too. Many of the other European royal families don't send their children away to school until 16, if at all. George is already the age William was when he was sent to Ludgrove and is still in his London day school, and Edward doesn't appear to be sending Louise and James to boarding school until a more conventional 13, so I guess those mores are thankfully changing.[/quote]
