London: American PM Rishi Sunak, whose household is estimated to be wealthier than prince Charles, said he went without “lots of stuff” as a child, including Sky Television, when asked if he was in contact with the challenges of common people. Through his marriage to his wife Akshata Murty, whose father founded Infosys, Sunak, the child of a physician and a doctor, is the wealthiest PM in American history.
Sunak cited his parents ‘ refusal to pay for the subscription network as an example of having to “go without” because he claimed they were making sacrifices to pay for his training in an interview with ITV. Asked to give a certain indication of things he missed out on as a child, he said:”… Notably, Sky Television, so that was something that we always had growing up really”.
