‘Spoilt brat’ background of ‘art attacker’

A JUST Stop Oil activist accused of throwing soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting went to a £45,000-a-year school attended by the Royal Family.

Phoebe Plummer, 21, allegedly damaged the painting at the National Gallery in London on Friday.

She went to St Mary’s School in Ascot which also taught Prince Edward’s daughter Lady Louise, plus the Duke of Kent’s grandchildren Marina and

Amelia and Monaco’s Princess Caroline. Plummer went on to £30,000-a-year Mander Portman Woodward college in Kensington, London, named ‘spoilt brat central’ by Vice magazine in 2006. She now studies computer science at Manchester University.

She and co-accused Anna Holland, 20, were bailed by Westminster magistrates yesterday, after pleading not guilty to criminal damage charges.
