To think this dream job is just sad.

What I find amusing, and surprising, is the reaction of posters.

Not talking about the tutoring and everything about the child, but why are people so offended rich families are so admiring and impressed by British Culture and British life, it's their ultimate goal? That (and only that) is flattering?😂

or is it just racism, and "British culture" is too good for anyone non-British, even if the angry people are nowhere near the Upper class themselves anyway

And you sound like you are personally affronted as if this is your own advert or you are such a parent?
The Princess of Wales was middle class, her marriage upgraded her status not her family money or fancy 'quintessentially English' nanny or expensive schooling as the advert seems to hope to do (buying social class). Her class wasn't overlooked, it's even being discussed here today many years after her marriage which proves the point that class is beyond money and remains important in British and English culture. And neither I or you need to be Royals to be able to understand and comment on this.

Poor little boy. All that pressure at the age of one!

There are a lot of similar families and similar requests in the world, but many don't even live or have a permanent residence in the UK, which is why the reference to quintessentially British experiences is not unusual.

Forget the list and requirements, anyone with the right name and connections will be considered - because that's already one foot in the door for them.

Does asking for someone with Received Pronunciation breach the Equality Act?

Fuck me. Thanks op, for opening my eyes to a world I thought was just a parody. They say if you want to know what God thinks about money, just look at the people he gave it to.

This ad instantly made me think of Mohamed Al-Fayed (or at least the version shown in the Crown, assuming it was accurate-ish).

It screams 'foreigner that grew up poor, made it big and fetishizes British Culture because being British Upper-Class is their final tick-box to success'.

Ye Gods, what fresh hell is this?! It sounds like the plot of a bad British comedy film. That poor child.

Surreal and so sad but then I suppose some people live like this. Even the ball that Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin went to that introduced their daughter to society-it just all makes me uncomfortable

I'm dying to know who the family are. They mention high net worth and royal family in the ad.

The bit where it says it was too late for the five-year-old to achieve 'their' goals. This is gross. Trying to cultivate some weird dream. Poor child.

Remember Dead Poets’ Society where the boy killed himself because the dad wouldn’t let him be himself and kept pushing him to be what the dad wanted him to be? Chilling

is it wild to suggest they are probably from a culture that doesn’t value women and the 5 year old is a girl, so “failing” with her doesn’t matter to them anyway?

They sound really quite vile people

WTAF have I just read?! Who even thinks like this?!

Also, the obsession with avoiding ‘cultural bias’ is sinister. Anyone who thinks they can mould a child to be exactly what they want with no influence from the outside world is crazy and dangerous whichever way you look at it.

😢 poor children.

It's hard to live up to expectations of delusional parents.

The kid is one!

There’s not a salary on this planet that would make me want to work for these absolute weirdos. Poor kids.

You sound very protective of something that you don't own yourself. 😂

in British culture and British class system you can't buy class
The Middleton example clearly contradict you on that one. How much higher into the "British class system" could Kate go?! (genuine question!)

I think I have watched too much The Americans as this screams 'spies' to me.

Fuuuckk!!! That sounds absolutely batshit. The poor kids.

very little care or education
they just have a different view than yours about that, rightly or wrongly.

zero recognition of the fact that education needs to be guided by a child’s aptitude, personality and interests
who said that? Literally from the ad

a more explorative Montessori style will likely be more appropriate, allowing him to develop his own interests through having been exposed to a wealth of different activities.

I don't really care about them one way or another, they from a different world than mine, but I find some of the posts on this thread very hypocritical - and posters sounding more jealous than anything.

I am personally not a fan of the "Montessori" style either, but that's not the point

I didn't think my comment was racist, it was obviously written by people who are not British so they are foreign, foreign is not a racist word. Anyone can be a social climber, my comment is specific about foreign entitled rich parents in the UK because that is what the discussion about: an advert written by such group. As for my description that they are entitled, such people their wealth makes them act entitled because in other countries wealth is enough to rise in the ranks whereas in British culture and British class system you can't buy class, they think they are entitled to something long established and goes beyond money.

They're describing an entirely imaginary person. Anyone who has the background they want surely wouldn't take this type of work. Anyone who has 'attended the best schools and universities in England' is unlikely to be have EY for UHNW weirdos as their dream job. And 180k sounds not bloody enough.

The whole thing reeks of a sad kind of class fetishism and affluent neglect.

of course money can buy you entry into any "club" you want. Diana was from a very aristocratic family, but Kate Middleton isn't. And most people joining that club don't advertise their life on the DM so you'll never hear from them anyway.
Money buys everything, you just need enough of it.

I like him, so it's not a dig and it wasn't about money, but Mike Tindall' own children are the grand-children of the Princess Royal .
It might not be the ultimate "club", but there are A LOT of people fighting get close to the royal.

Setting aside any debate on the way to do it, what's wrong with using what resources you have to give what you think are the best chances and life to your kids?

Nothing wrong with that but this goes way beyond that. It is pure social engineering and very little care or education. And zero recognition of the fact that education needs to be guided by a child’s aptitude, personality and interests ad opposed to trying to shoehorn him/her into a cultural stereotype.
