The school has said a number of its pupils have been ‘sanctioned’ following the incident.
‘An interesting night but my daughter thought it explained a lot about why this country is in the state it is in.‘The school have had an assembly on it and issued an apology but damage done.’
Prince William and his brother, the Duke of Sussex, both attended Eton, as did the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A second unnamed Twitter user, who claimed to offer a first-hand account of the incident, said the story had been ‘blown out of proportion’ and amounted to a ‘complete misrepresentation of the truth.
