   It's really a tragedy, he could've done so much good not coming from an old English elite.

     @HistoPol @melanie @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @djm_black oh he was groomed from an early age to become one of the elite. His parents came from East Africa - all East Africans of Indian heritage were the higher classes who used to run Kenya and Tanganyika on behalf of the British. Nobody gets sent to Winchester to be anything but. The icing on the cake was marrying into one of the richest families in the world.
