Charles Spencer has said a schoolmaster who allegedly abused and was violent towards him lives near his estate in Northamptonshire. Earl Spencer also told the audience at the Hay Festival on Sunday that he knows where a female member of staff at his former boarding school , who he claimed sexually assaulted him, lives. The 60-year-old, who is the younger brother of the late Princess Diana , was speaking about his recently released memoir A Very Private School , in which he opened up about the alleged physical and sexual abuse he endured at Maidwell Hall school in Northamptonshire in the 1970s.
MailOnline reported Earl Spencer, who has been married three times and has seven children, said: “You have to keep an eye on children. I've got children of all ages but they all got very bored by their father cross-questioning them in the car on whether any teachers made them feel uncomfortable.” Reflecting on his experience at the elite independent school, which caters to children aged 4-13, he continued: “There are two [staff members] that are still alive .
.. I had to give them false names [in the book] because the lawyers were worried about it.
“I wasn't – there's nothing in that book that I cannot corroborate with various witnesses. “One of them was a very abusive master who hated me and was very violent with me.” The earl alleged the schoolmaster lives close to his and the late Princess of Wales’ childhood home Althorp House, a 13,000-acre estate he inherited in 199.
