They might say you were hired just because you look good, but that's not fair. Everyone should be judged on their abilities, not their appearance or family name.

I was pretty young when my father was prime minister, so it wasn’t really a big part of my life. My folks were away a lot, meeting foreign dignitaries and that sort of thing, but it never struck me as odd. If anything it allowed me to get into all sorts of mischief.
