Privilege

On a visit to London’s Hyde Park around the summer solstice, I spotted these two boys who had such an aura of entitlement about them. England is a super class-conscious country, and kids who attend private (“public”) schools seem to absorb the fact that they will be treated differently than their less-lucky peers. I couldn’t be sure these two belonged to the wealthy class, but their innocent confidence made me assume they did.
