Which Member Of The Royal Family Has The Best Education?

They’re among the most influential people in their world with their elevated status and charitable focus. However, some of the royal family’s success doesn’t have to be attributed to their education, as some members have done better at school than others.

As it turns out, while higher education has been a big part of the royal family’s lives, some of them have done much better with their A-levels and other exams than the rest. Here’s a comparison of the educations they’ve received.

Prince Charles:

After attending the Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland, the future King of England achieved what was known as five O-levels (now GCSEs), before also achieving two A-levels ith a B in History and a C in French. He went on to graduate with a 2:2 degree in History from Cambridge University.

Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew:

While also attending Gordonstoun, Prince Charles’ younger brothers also did well. While Prince Andrew gained six O-levels ad A-levels in English, History and Politics, Prince Edward achieved nine O-levels and three A-levels in English, History and Politics. As for Princess Anne, who attended Benenden School in Kent, she achieved six O-levels and three A-levels in English, History and Politics.

Prince William:

Also a future King, Prince William did well while attending Eton College, getting an A in geography and a B in art, though he only received a C in biology.

Prince Harry:

Before joining the army, Prince Harry also attended Eton like his brother, earning an impressive B in Art. However, Geography did not appear to be his strong suit, as he only earned a D in the subject.

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge:

Prince William’s wife proved to be a brilliant student before she met her husband at St. Andrews. While a student at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, she earned A’s in both Math and Art, as well as a B in English.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex:

As an American, Markle did not receive the same education or take the same qualifying exams as the rest of the royal family. While it isn’t known what she earned on her SATs, she did achieve admission to the prestigious Northwestern University, which she graduated from in 2003 with a double major in Theatre and International Relations.

Princess Beatrice:

Prince Andrew’s oldest daughter also did remarkably well in school, earning an A in Drama and Bs in History and Film Studies, before going on to the University of London, where she graduated with a 2:1.

Princess Eugenie:

Beatrice’s sister also did well, getting two A’s in Art and English Literature and a B in History of Art, before studying English Literature, History of Art and Politics at Newcastle University and graduating with a 2:1.

However, while the rest of the royals may have received formal educations, Queen Elizabeth herself did not—though that didn’t stop her from proving her brilliance as well.

“The Queen’s father had disliked school and her mother thought it was more important to have fun,” Kate Williams, author of “Young Elizabeth” previously revealed. “Unlike her father, the Queen was and is very bright and had an appetite for learning as well as a razor-sharp memory.”

As it turned out, the lack of a formal education didn’t harm the queen, who was willing to work hard as she taught herself different subjects.

“The lack of a formal education didn’t harm her as she’s naturally analytical and something of an autodidact, as well as being hard-working—which we know now is just as important as raw brainpower,” Williams said.
