Which schools did these royals go to?
- 3 years ago
Monaco’s Prince Albert attended the same school as mum Grace Kelly – 6 royals educated at ‘normal’ schools including Prince Philippe of Belgium and Japan’s Prince Hisahito
Norway’s Princess Ingrid Alexandra is going to a modest school, as did her grandfather King Harald V, and the Netherlands’ King Willem-Alexander – despite a US$3 billion family holding in Shell and Philips
Even more so than entertainment celebrities, royalty can choose to live a cocooned life. Although it is entirely possible to marry into the world’s few royal families –as the likes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle did –more often, you are born a royal.
Education is one area where that cocoon is often reinforced. With their wealth and – perhaps more importantly – elevated status (something not even Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos’ billions can buy) royalty is often educated away from the masses, to ensure both a particular kind of education and a measure of privacy.
The British royal family are famous for sending its progeny to Eton College. Princes William, Duke of Cambridge; Harry, Duke of Sussex; Edward, Duke of Kent and Prince Michael of Kent are all alumni of the famous Berkshire school. In extreme circumstances certain royal families ensure that education takes place within the confines of the royal palace itself. Both Mohammed VI of Morocco and Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King of Saudi Arabia, were taught at schools within their respective families’ palaces.
However, it is not always the case that royalty remains aloof. Some royal families are happy with a more common touch, and have been willing to educate their young in less gilded environs. Here are five such examples.
