From a rather eccentric family, he was raised by [[HasTwoMommies his mother and her (lesbian) partner.]] He was expelled from Eton for being the school bookie and pornography vendor. And during his time in the Navy in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, he was hospitalized with bronchitis shortly before D-Day.
