A strange fact about Prince Charles is that he was significantly bullied while in school. As noted by the Radio Times, the heir to the throne "thrived" during his at-home education in his early years, but once he was 8 years old, he attended Hill House School and later Cheam School, the latter of which is the oldest private school in Britain. Boarding school was a reality of Charles' life, as it was for many royal children, but Charles was reportedly "deeply homesick" and suffered as a result. By the time he attended Gordonstoun, the alma mater of his father, Prince Philip, the bullying he experienced went from bad to worse.
Calling the time he was in school "a prison sentence," Charles was "relentlessly bullied" and experienced significant isolation as a result. "He was crushingly lonely for most of his time there. The wonder is that he survived with his sanity intact," Charles' classmate, Ross Benson, shared. In addition, due to Charles' enrollment, the fellow school boys were not allowed to drink, smoke, or take part in normal freedoms. As a result, they "took that out" on the young prince.
