> He’s clearly an articulate, balanced and confident young man, completely at ease in English.
Why is everyone so surprised that his English is excellent and that he is very confident? His clan pretty much owns and runs a whole country and rulers and their families generally have everything available to them, in every dictatorship all around the world since the beginning of time. Including the best modern education available.
If anything, it is surprising how outspoken he is against the regime and thereby his own family and the entitlement that allowed him to be where he is now but then again, "quod licet iovi, non licet bovi" and sons typical hold a special value anyway.
King George VI must have led a deprived and impoverished life to be so insecure and inarticulate in public. ;)
In a smaller arena, some of the CEO's I have worked under have shown signs in insecurity also. So, I don't think confidence necessarily comes from power and wealth.
