Charles Spencer recently revealed in his new memoir, 'A Very Private School,' the distressing abuse he endured at Maidwell Hall boarding school, a traumatic experience he never shared with his sister, Princess Diana. Despite their close bond in childhood, Spencer kept the abuse he suffered from the age of 8 a secret from Diana and his other sisters.
In his memoir, Spencer recounts the harrowing five years at the elite English countryside institution, where he and other young students were subjected to physical, verbal, and sexual abuse by predatory adults. The revelation of his painful past to his older sisters, Sarah and Jane, 18 months ago left them stunned and appalled.
