Prince Harry never even went to college

How did the Queen allow that?

Harry either has low IQ or dyslexia or both. Not a retard. Sandhurst is a military college but not a university and he had to cheat to make it in. What can you expect from someone with no academic interest or skill? I don't think the Ivy League "Gentleman C" a la George Bush is available at Oxbridge. Of course they could have sent Harry to Brown and he would have graduated.

The queen knew he was not gifted and lazy so why bother.

He cheated at seton as well. Had a teacher who did his work.

Many choose college OR military, he chose military. End of story.

Harry is quite stupid as evident by him leaving the royal family with Megan

No member of the Royal Family is a great intellect.

William went to St Andrews, a good university but not top-tier. He ended up with a low 2:1 degree, which is a bit like a B minus average and he really had to work hard for it. And it was in geography, which.... you know (he transferred from history of art). Yet, he is the most academically successful royal in history.

Fancy schooling does not a silk purse out of a sow's ear make.

SHOCK AND AWE! somebody decided not to go to college and instead went into the militia. How unusual! Jesus...some people don't need to get a college degree, and clearly a prince doesn't need to have that on his record - he already has a pedigree, so why WOULD he?

R7 It’s not their fault they are all inbred.

Camilla would be the first queen with a university diploma. Elisabeth the 1st had a good mind. Our QE was tutored at home by decent teachers but it wasn't academic it was aristocratic education.

That’s surprising as he legit knew how to row.

Elizabeth. with a Z I & II

He was too busy being fucked by his soldiers.

Camilla doesn't have a university degree. She got 1 O-level and 0 A-levels.

I thought Charles attended Cambridge? Did he graduate?

OMG yes I meant to say Catherine

Harry Potter didn’t go to college either.

[quote]Many choose college OR military, he chose military. End of story.

And he couldn’t even make a career out of that.

He’s a dumb, lazy, worthless sack of shit in his late 30’s with no accomplishments other than being a famewhore (and marrying an even bigger one).

There are no ‘Colleges’ in the UK. They have universities. Quite good ones. But none that would have thé Ginger Whinger.

Charles did go to Cambridge, he got a 2:2 which is like a C average (and had a lot of special tuition to get there). So he was officially less academically successful than William (and Kate).

[quote]Camilla doesn't have a university degree.

I thought she got a degree in Cuntology?

[quote]William went to St Andrews, a good university but not top-tier.

St Andrews is also the alma mater of the annoying Blair Hornstine, who made news in the early 2000s for suing her school district so she could be the sole valedictorian of her class, then losing her admission to Harvard because she was caught plagiarizing an article she wrote for her local newspaper. I think she was actually at StA's at the same time as William and Kate.

Oh who cares. Not like he needed a good job in order to take out a mortgage or anything.

R18 He was born rich and privileged dumbfuck. The only thing he had to worry about was to NOT be an utter embarrassment.

From 15 to 35 he was probably a fun and cute fuck. A good run.

Like i said, who the fuck cares what he chose (military), he's born into privilege and doesn't need to explain for or provide references for anything. this is entirely a moot point. as is the entire institution. they are going to do what they do. you all love to hate it. however, it's a damn sight better than what's happening right now in the US.

Hardly earth shattering news.... British royalty nor nobility for that matter are exactly known for their academic skills. Eldest sons inherit, second sons and any other spares are slotted into something where they can do no harm but still collect a wage packet.

Noel Coward spelled it all out long ago....

Where some members of BRF attended university and what degrees they read.

R24 Harry girl is that you????

R30 Willileaks is that you girl.

For whatever reason, I read OP as Harry Potter and then wondered if there's a college equivalent in the Wizarding World.

Yes. He did. In fact, he went to my Alma Mater in Sicily" "No, he didn't Ma!" "Dorothy's right Sophia , actually Prince Harry was an exchange student at my Alma Mater, St. Olaf College of St. Kneferfleyven."

[quote]Our QE was tutored at home by decent teachers but it wasn't academic it was aristocratic education.

What topics are covered in an aristocratic education, R10?

Much and all as Meghan's 'wokeness' does grate a little, I do have to say I'm impressed that Harry has started publicly thinking about and questioning the history of institutions like the Commonwealth, and the kind of relationships and racial hierarchies that it is founded on, particularly since he has never been known for thinking much about anything. That is 100% down to her influence.

Oh come on, ConcerneEuro, how do you know he's started to do ANY of that? Other than the fact that his PR handlers tell us repeatedly that he has. Harry Wales has a history of using racial slurs and I'm going to remain very wary of his lectures until he deals with that history publicly. A white man belonging to the British royal family is one of the last people on earth I want to hear from when it comes to racial injustice.

He’d never would have gotten to wear jaunty berets in University.

QE2 has excellent French, though spoken with a posh English accent the French actually adore.

Harry’s words, actions and bodily behaviour belie a staggering ignorance coupled with arrogance.

For example, during his military training in the US, he was warned by the local mayor (of an Arizona) town against extreme party antics and abuse (to women....there are rumours amongst the US military Harry assaulted females.)

The fact that a Northwestern-accredited “feminist” sought to marry him does bring into question her reasons.

Was it love?

Or grift?

Time will tell.

2021 will be a verrrry interesting year for Californian Harry and Megs.

I thought it was very well known that the British royal family are academically challenged. I think if the public knew how academically dumb the British royals are, the vast majority of the public would lose respect for them.

^^ It was more than the “fornicating” they were concerned about: MPs dealt with reports of abuse from women who reportedly “spent time with Harry”.

reply15 Yes, he attended Cambridge but did really bad. He only got accepted to Cambridge because of his title.

The Atlantic reported in 1943, when Elizabeth was just 17 years old, that the princess’s mother taught her to read. Until she turned seven, her education “was confined” to reading, writing, French, the piano, and dancing. At that point, governess Marion Crawford — whom The Atlantic characterized as “Scottish, an Edinburgh graduate, well-traveled, a lover of fresh air and exercise” — took over Elizabeth’s education.

R34 see my post R43.

QE was tutored as a princess in the very old fashioned necessary skills - French, piano, singing, dancing, riding, shooting, lite academics. It seems her early education was limited to a few hours a day and the rest was "outdoor activities" so the appropriate sports and activities.

Later she learn necessary topics and when her future changed she learned the necessary history, political science and statesmanship.

At some early age, Margaret no doubt learn cock-sucking.

One thing I "learned" from The Crown, even recognizing it's fictionalized, is that the royal family is sort of a social club more than anything, and that their internal virtues seem to be a combination of fancy, rigid public presentation and personal values that blend Duck Dynasty with Paris Hilton.

Intellectual rigor even seems to be a vice, if we are to believe anything at all about how Charles is depicted on the series. It seems like everyone hates his character, but I honestly found him to be one of few with any redeeming or respectable qualities, his being intellectual curiousity, appreciation for the arts and care for the planet. The rest of them seem (on the show and from what I have seen of the real ones) to be entirely self-involved and pretty vapid.

I did watch a PBS documentary about the crown jewels and the queen had an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of them, so she seems at least as good as Gwen Stefani at talking about her personal accessories.

That explains why he was stupid enough to marry a nearly middle aged, divorced, showgirl who is on the D-list.

He dresses like Hitler and parties naked in Vegas with strangers.

Hard to believe he never belonged to a frat!

Princess Margaret was notoriously ignorant, uncultured, and uncurious. And yet extremely snob and arrogant. She loved the company of artists because she felt she was herself some kind of bohemian, but those artists hated her and laughed at her behind her back. Although they loved the cachet of hanging around with a HRH, no matter how dumb she was.

OP since when does TQ force a grandson clearly unfit for the academic life to head for Oxbridge?! She supported him in the life he clearly was fit for, and which he was a fool to leave.

Prince Harry reminds you that we are all precious raindrops, wetting Mother Earth.

Not sure its fair to say Princess Margaret was uncultured. She was genuinely devoted to ballet and made private visits to many special exhibitions at the London museums and galleries. It was a pain in the neck for staff, who had to get in early or stay late, but they all said she was genuinely interested.

Not saying Harry is a genius but there are different facets of intelligence: Going to a "hard" university and learning how to pass an exam might give you a fancy degree certificate and advantages in the labor force, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're "intelligent". Scholars are now recognizing this point of view.

I also think what others are missing is that there is and has always been a lack of motivation. You're a British Royal: You are the creme de la crème of the entire European royal pantheon. You have nothing to prove. The education prices is just a tour of passage, a formality. I'm not claiming any of the royals are geniuses, I just don't think they are motivated to achieve academically when they have other things to occupy their minds like equestrian, polo, yacht trips in the Mediterranean, being adored by their subjects and independent subject (commonwealth) the world over ...

Honestly R36, this sort of thing, questioning the Commonwealth (and by implication the Queen, who set it up) is very tricky territory for a British Royal, and has gone down predictably badly amongst his 'core audience' of bootlickers and the horsy set. It's very interesting that Meghan got him to say these things publicly.

A woman with a high school education is in no position to cast aspersions.

There is a guy in my family who is of average IQ and dyslexic but the dyslexia and his personality combined to make him a VERY socially adept person and a quick study of people. He surprised everyone by finishing community college in business then a 4 year state college than a masters and his first job was over a hundred grand in operations and he moves up quickly. People like him and he gets along very well with people.

Yes, but how good is the Queen's embroidery and needlework, R43 and R44? Just kidding. Thanks for the info.

I googled a few articles about the education of aristocrats and how it changed over the centuries from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the Baroque era, etc.

So now you know. Queen Elizabeth is the living connection to a culture that is 500 years old, easily. I wonder how many dances she knows. I dont imagine any of her grandchildren or great grandchildren have been educated in the aristocratic method.

[quote]Camilla would be the first queen with a university diploma.

Excuse me, but THIS queen graduated from college!

Big fucking deal OP.

Guy can pilot a helicopter. Did you learn that in college?

The only thing he had to worry about was to NOT be an utter embarrassment.

Oh well.....

[quote]So now you know. Queen Elizabeth is the living connection to a culture that is 500 years old, easily. I wonder how many dances she knows.

Oh right. I don't think I've ever seen video of the Queen dancing with the guest of honor at a gala but I've found pics online of her dancing with President Gerald Ford. There you go. Dancing is an important skill for someone in her position.

[quote]Prince Harry never even went to college

Not even adult continuing education courses?

She's let a lot slide, to be honest. Who would have thought she'd live through two abdications?

R69 - wtf are you talking about?

The queen didn't go to university herself, and neither did Margaret and Philip and Andrew and Anne.

Have the Nana's invaded the DL. What the hell is this the Queen shits gold nuggets lick lick lick thread.

[quote] She loved the company of artists because she felt she was herself some kind of bohemian, but those artists hated her and laughed at her behind her back.

Not entirely true. The ones she kept coming back to did laugh at her behind her back, but most of them still loved her nonetheless. She was what Larry David would call a Beloved Cunt.

They're mostly drunk retards so what do you expect? But I bet he's got a big nasty uncut dick. One of those big pink slimy ones that those gingers tend to have.

Harry is stupid. Why do you think he married Meghan?

R75 - Harris is also a weakling - yet another reason he married Sparkle. She has the balls in the family.

R67 [quote] Dancing is an important skill for someone in her position.

Particularly when you are trying to handle Gerald Ford who couldn't chew gum and walk.

^ I'd love to see her whirlybird!

[quote] the Queen can dance.

Is that how ABBA came up with the title of their song?

R74 Having jungle fever makes you stupid?

I completely agree R56 - one of the biggest idiots I know has a PhD. He can tell you anything you want to know about the intertidal zone of a specific region of a specific ocean and the critters and plants that live there, and in every other way he stands out as a deeply conventional and unoriginal thinker. Combine that with the doctorate, which leads him to believe he is qualified to comment on ANY subject (more qualified than most others, i mean) and he is a tiresome individual to spend time with. I've been aware for awhile that academic qualifications are in no way the end all and be all of intelligence.

That said, I've never heard Harry say anything that struck me as particularly thoughtful or intelligent. He does seem quite thick to me. Charles at least appears curious and interested about certain topics but none of that family seem to be bright sparks.

R59 If I thought Harry had any real understanding of history - and his own family's role in it - if he wanted to talk thoughtfully about the Commonwealth and its role and meaning in modern society I would be happy to listen. But he has so far shown zero understanding that he has more privilege than 99.9% of the people he's lecturing about privilege. It's also awkward, if he wishes to present himself to us a progressive and egalitarian sort to a)cling to the titles conferred upon him by his birth and to b)fail to directly acknowledge the fact of his top flight education and military training (not to mention his funds, which whilst incomparable to what his brother will one day inherit would still constitute a genuine windfall for most of us), none of which would have been possible if his dad had been a builder.

R81 quit sucking KKK dick, leave your brother alone... redneck piece of shit

[quote]Particularly when you are trying to handle Gerald Ford who couldn't chew gum and walk.

Lol, R77. Yes, I remember the press liked to show film of him tripping and falling.

If it weren't for his family circumstance at birth, he would be a floor supervisor at Best Buy. He's a moron.

He didn’t know he was related to the Romanovs.

R7, at least St. Andrews is in the top 5 in the UK, which is close to "top tier." Of course, a well-grounded, educated nation would have many more institutions in the top tier, but the thirst and cronyism of Cambridge and Oxford have sucked the life out of so much other potential.

Edward VII suffered from severe dyslexia, and so does Princess Beatrice. I wonder if Harry doesn't also have a learning disability. He could have gotten a double-dose genetically, as Diana had severe academic anxiety and failed every single one of her leaving exams--twice.

While that's true, R88, and St Andrews is an excellent university in many fields, you have to remember that William got his start at Eton - perhaps the most famous and one of the best-resourced schools in the world. Despite this, his A-level results, if I recall correctly, were ABC, which is solid but far from spectacular. If he were truly an intellectual, there's no question he'd have gone to Oxbridge.

Moreover he doesn't seem curious about very much and has very much settled into the role laid out for him since graduating. In fact, Harry is the one showing more signs of intellectual independence at this stage.

I think William has exactly the right amount of intelligence and education for his role in life. A truly brilliant person would be miserable doing the job William does and will be expected to do for the rest of his life. The couple of bios I've read of Princess Margaret said that she was actually quite intelligent but had no real education and no chance to put her brains to any kind of meaningful use. The results were the dissipation and desperate bitchiness of her later years.

He doesn't need to. I don't use my college education. Most of us shouldn't go to college.

R92 Trouble with Harry is that he doesn’t use much, if any, of any education he has had. Most of his recent time seems to have been concentrated on the raw deal he has had in life. Pity Mama Meghan didn’t mention the word ‘gratitude’ to him. And to herself.

[quote] Harry is quite stupid as evident by him leaving the royal family with Megan

Ironyproof.

The queen barely has an education. She had to get tutors, as an adult, because she realized she didn't know a damned thing

The entire family is stupid. Charles basically failed university, but they passed him with a C-, because he's the Prince of Wales

When people are this rich, they don't need higher education. And you're a fool for thinking they do

Oh, you silly Americans and your obsession with college degrees, you just don't get it. We're rich as fuck, we don't need a college education so we can get a banal job where we make a mere 100 grand a year, to take out a dreary 30 year mortgage on a dismal suburban home! We can be as ignorant, racist, and prejudiced as we want, we don't have to get along with people and answer to any HR department. College degrees are for the middle and upper middle classes, not for aristocracy and royalty, we're above it. How little you peasants know.

Harry spent 10 years in the military. He flew Apache helicopters in Afghanistan.

I don't know that you have to be particularly intelligent to fly but you can't be an idiot, they are complicated machines, you can't just stick anyone in the pilots seat.

Harry wanted to stay in the military, he wanted that for his career but his family made him leave. They insisted he come and participate in the family "business". If they had left him alone to do what he loved (being in the military) we probably wouldn't be going through all this right now.

He’s white so he gets away with it. My mommy said so!

The Commonwealth isn't an extension of The British Empire.

Every Country is free to leave (or leave and rejoin as a few have).

It even has member Countries that were never part of British influence in any way.

r59 Elizabeth II did not form the Commonwealth

[quote]That explains why he was stupid enough to marry a nearly middle aged, divorced, showgirl who is on the D-list

And this explains why so many of you are single. The heart wants what it wants.

R10, who gives a fuck about a skank whore like Camilla. That hideous monstrosity will NEVER be referred to as queen!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I read that William was encouraged to go to St. Andrews for political reasons, as it would play well in Scotland to have the heir to the throne attending a Scottish university.

Meghan admitted she had trouble passing the Foreign Service Test so she couldn't go into international work. She's 99% percentile on language but not good on math.

Not that she couldn't be. I think English majors sometimes expect math to be just as easy as language arts and don't work at it. It just takes a good tutor and a lot of time. Less deep analysis and more acceptance.

Unfortunately, under the influence of Markle, Harry has turned into a liar, bullshit artist and hypocrite just like his wife.

I hope Charlotte and Louis are encouraged to go to college and sort out careers for themselves. It might end the cursed life cliche of the Windsor spares.

Harry is not in line to inherit anything. That’s how. The same reason he was allowed to marry an American, divorced show person. If he had been heir to the throne he would have been forced to marry a British born woman from a noble or wealthy family.

Trustafarian Harry's big sigh after Oprah asked about him being cut off.

Like bitch, some people have to wage slave for a pittance.

What happened to their big driving goal of service? Talked more about some bullshit of a flower girl dress than helping others. I wish the fucking family would just go away. Go be rich people on your own but don't pretend like you give a damn when you just use it to make yourself look good.

Harry is not, and never was, college material. Takes after his Mummy in that regard. Diana had very little education; her education was the equivalent of not finishing high school. Supposedly she had the ability to do better in her studies but seemed incapable of putting forth the effort needed to make decent grades. Some kind of mental block, I suppose. Anyway, Harry isn't called "Dimwit" for nothing.

R19 There most certainly are Colleges in Britain...many universities have colleges within them, for example King's College, Cambridge, or Magdalen College, Oxford

In Britain, a college is where students live, eat, socialise. They are apart of the university where they study.

Harry is not in line to inherit anything. That’s how. The same reason he was allowed to marry an American, divorced show person. If he had been heir to the throne he would have been forced to marry a British born woman from a noble or wealthy family.

Harry inherited 20 million from his mothers' estate, half her jewellery and possessions, money from Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and whatever his father chooses to leave him from his personal wealth, and perhaps The Queen will leave him something from her personal kitty as well.

Kate Middleton's family are far from noble, her mother was a trolley dolly who grew up in council housing, they're moderately upper middle class wealthy from their party planning business and by no means have they always been wealthy.

Jealous cunts the lot of you. (insert toff laugh)

her personal kitty

Please, would that not be the British people's money, she has done nothing to earn it besides being popped out her mommy's royal twat hole.

[quote] The Commonwealth isn't an extension of The British Empire. Every Country is free to leave

Some of them want to leave. That's why the Queen has been making such a big deal about "the Commonwealth", when they never did before

College is overrated. He'll learn from life as it looks like an amazing future is ahead if him.
