HRH Journal Entry about MBK and Alexander Polo

HRH writes of a 'gay polo' game and Alex coming out.

20 March Saturday   Today I took Alexander to the Royal Equestiran Center, like we often do. This time something seemed odd the whole drive there. Alex wasn't very talkative.   When we got there, Milton was there and had gathered a group of lad to play a pick up polo game.   It was a great game but it was a little weird because everyone stood on protocols. I was always "your royal highness." I guess that's fine but when Alex and Milton started calling me by my HRH I got a little uncomfortable. After the lads all dispersed, Alexander, Milton and I went into the clubhouse for supper and Milton went back to calling me Bash, like Gan calls me. Alex kept saying sir. It was odd.   After supper, I went to the toilet and left the two of them alone at the table. That might have been a mistake. When I got back, Milton had already handled the bill. Absolutely inappropriate. I'm the senior! They'd also clearly been talking about me because they shut up as soon as Milton saw me.   After their talk and me peeing, we left, Milton back to Lambeth, me and Alex back to Eton.   We were in the back of the car when Alex finally spoke. He called me Bash too. It was a first. He asked me if I had known that all the lads we'd played with were gay. I didn't. He asked me if Milton is gay, I said yes. He asked me if I was okay that Milton is gay - of course I am. He put his hand on my thigh and suddenly my pants were really binding in my crotch. He told me he is gay too. He asked me if I am gay. I couldn't say anything, my heart was racing. Finally I stupidly said "We should probably change the subject." Alex smiled and gave me a peck on the cheek.   I haven't been able to stop grinning since Alexander went back to his own room. That was probably the only kiss I'll ever get from a boy.
