He's 10. He's super-bright and sporty. And blond. I've noticed when I drop him off at school that he's blonder than all the other children and when he jumps, he jumps that bit higher, and more elegantly, than all the other boys. His prep school say he was made to be world king. Up to now I haven't been entirely convinced about that, but then I got to thinking, why would they say that if it wasn't true? We will have only paid them £150,000 by the time he leaves prep, plus another £300,000 for his two younger brothers. What would be their incentive to make shit up if it isn't true?

Little things like money and geography are minor details, I just want the right school for my future world king.

Please advise. Which is the correct school for him?

Pussy riot wasn't really what I had in mind for him... But doubtless a coup in Africa wasn't really what Margaret Thatcher had in mind for her little Marky-pops after Harrow.

I could try one of the local selective day schools but I'm not sure he'd be comfortable mixing with boys whose school fees are sub £16,000 per annum. And I think the boys at those type of schools would be uncomfortable with my son's blondness, ease, wit, good looks and perfect manners. I think it would make everyone uncomfortable and would likely end in a murder as boys shoot it out for the honour of being my son's unofficial courtiers, and doer of coursework. I couldn't have that on my conscience.

Russia a bit dodgy maybe? How about a UK school with a high intake of Chinese pupils?

Good work ethic could be caught from them, he will pick up Mandarin with no effort, but at the same time his blondness with absolutely wow them.

Reverse the trend. Send blondie to a Russian school. He could join Pussy Riot in the fullness of time.

You are confused. You are describing my son, he is the blondest of them all. ...

I would home school if I were you.
