King Charles to become patron of Gordonstoun Association

King makes first official link with Moray school where he experienced angst and opportunity as teenage boarder

King Charles III has agreed to become a patron of the Gordonstoun Association, reflecting an affection for his alma mater in Scotland despite the teenage angst he experienced there.

The patronage is his first official link with the Moray institution, which he attended from 1962 until 1967, and was welcomed by the school principal, Lisa Kerr, as a “great honour”.
