He had a reasonably happy childhood, though he had a rather distant relationship with his mother and stepfather, being brought up mostly by nannies. When he reached the age of 18, his stepfather arranged for him to study at Oxford, but he proved unsuited for an academic life and after a year he left and returned home.
