Lycée Louis-le-Grand
Skossyreff's educational background is quite ambiguous. In press interviews, he spoke about a childhood friendship with the Prince of Wales. Also stating that he attended the prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, followed by Magdalen College, Oxford. While these claims allowed Skossyreff to build up his persona, both the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and Magdalen College, Oxford confirm that he was not a student.
