He most certainly seems to have changed his mind on many of the policies favoured by the European Central Bank during the eurozone crisis, after having led the institution from 2011 to 2019.

London, England · LondonIn March, Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, published his memoir – A Very Private School. This recounted, in devastating detail, the abuse, both mental and physical, that he had been subjected to at his elite prep boarding school. The brutality is laid bare.
