It's the weird thing Eton does - you're at school next to lords and earls and, in my case, Prince William, so you end up being used to dealing with those sorts of people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Old Etonians are the most charming people in the world. It's not just the analytic ability and the great education; there is a really easy confidence to them that draws people to them and makes their passage though the world a little easier.
A fascinating breed, Old Etonians. Impeccable in their social skills and very portable - you can put them anywhere, and they are absolutely charming.
I went to prep school, Eton and Oxford. When people hear that, they think they know you, and you think: 'No, you don't.'
I don't care for people who are given peerages who have paid for them. I think it happens, and I don't like that.
Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up. We were comfortable, but I didn't go to Oxbridge, and yet every American interviewer I get says to me, 'You're related to Charles II! Your grandfather was a baronet!' And it's infuriating, because that is a part of my history, but you're trying to turn me into a posh boy, and I'm not.
The master class seldom lose a chance to insult a woman who has the ability for something besides service to his lordship.
My name is Ella; that's who I am at school, hanging out with friends, while I'm doing homework. But when I'm up on stage, 'Lorde' is a character.
If someone thinks I'm posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I'm far too stupid to get into Eton.
I believe that Britain is becoming more class-conscious, and I quake at the very idea of Old Etonians ruling the world again.
