Ban on ‘woke stupidity’ for Petra’s home schooled kids

THE children of Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone were never going to live an average life, moving between multi-million-pound mansions in Chelsea, Los Angeles and Monaco.

I can reveal their education is also rather unusual, with the 32-year-old socialite and her fiancé, Sam Palmer, 38, choosing to home school their kids — because the curriculum includes too much ‘woke stupidity’!

Petra welcomed her youngest child, Minnie, with Sam in April last year, and shares nine-year-old Lavinia, and twins James and Andrew, six, with ex-husband James Stunt.

‘We home school,’ Palmer reveals, adding: ‘We have teachers. And sport coaches. I was against it initially, but I have to say I really love it. We get to spend more time as a family.

‘We get to choose what’s being taught to our kids. And it will certainly not include woke stupidity like I’ve seen in some schools’.

Palmer, who runs a high-end domestic staffing agency, was perhaps referring to lessons such as those at London private school St Dunstan’s College, which teaches children about ‘white privilege’, including discussions on the public’s treatment of Meghan Markle, why James Bond has always been played by a white man and why all British Prime Ministers so far have been white.

Bernie Ecclestone’s youngest daughter, who has a net worth of more than £200 million, does not think her children are losing out by not being at a normal school.

Palmer adds that while the couple were ‘worried’ about their children missing the social aspect, ‘they have their friends over nearly every day.

‘There are four of them anyway so they are never alone, and also go to sports clubs.’

The lucky tutors will get to spend part of their time in the family’s £170million Georgian-style Chelsea home, which boasts eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.

However, the Ecclestone clan is currently in LA, where the children have recently been documented riding ponies and taking trips to Disneyland in between their studies.

Ah, to be the child of a multi-millionaire!
