I was in classes with Charles for years. I think he will be a good king.

, the headmaster, the chairman of the governors and various other people. Charles was a small, 13-year-old boy in a gray suit with rather big ears, and he looked terrified.

I don't remember Charles saying anything during the tea. He was a silent little boy and he kept very much to himself.I was in the same classes as Charles from 1962 to 1965. He was very bright and studious. He was also artistic, and good at painting and making sculptures. I was in his art class and he was better than me.

The boys could be fairly cruel, too, like at many other British public schools at the time. Senior boys sometimes gave junior boys a hard time. I experienced seniors steaming through my dormitory and tipping me out of my bed, or shoving me into a laundry basket or cold shower.The older boys picked on Charles. I think one of the problems was that the staff said Charles was"not to be treated any different," which, I think, gave people an excuse to be nasty to him.

But you were bullied if you were even friendly with him, let alone a friend. You were called"the King's friends," and you would be harassed for that. Boys would make sucking noises, as a way of saying you were"sucking up" to Charles. So people were cautious about befriending him which, when I look back now as a father and a grandfather, breaks my heart.
