A WELL-off mother and father are feeling grateful that their child has the good fortune to be born wealthy, it has emerged.
Denys Finch Hatton and wife Francesca are relieved that their son Oliver’s life will be filled with opportunity, all because he had the grace and serendipity to be born with an exceptionally large bank balance.
Dad Denys said: “Ollie will never be the tallest kid in class, or the most handsome, or the best at sport. But he will have a second home in the south of France, and to my mind that’s the most important thing.
“While other children are battling over scholarships and bursaries, he’ll breeze through public school paying full fees. It won’t even make a dent in his net worth, the lucky devil.”
Oliver’s mother Francesca added: “I’m delighted to have it confirmed though we always suspected he might be. It’s not the kind of thing they can pick up on a prenatal scan but both Denys and I grew up fabulously privileged, so it makes sense that Oliver would inherit it, too. It’s in our genes.”
“I just hope it doesn’t prevent him from making chums at school. Children can be so cruel. I just hope they’ll see past any surface flaws to pal around with the boy who has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.”
