Nigel Jaques, who has died aged 85, was one of the longest serving and most popular Eton masters, claiming to have known every headmaster to have led the school over 100 years.
When the Prince of Wales told Prince William that Jaques was coming to tutor Prince Harry for two weeks in Scotland, the reply was: “Mr Jaques is cool.”
Nigel John Trefusis Jaques was born on October 18 1935. His father, Leslie, was a housemaster at Eton, while a maternal uncle and a great-uncle had taught at the school.
