No-Longer-Prince Andrew

Or, they could have gone to university and trained for a career in almost any subject...........they would not have had to worry about student loans and tuition payments. What a great opportunity to advance one's learning.

If I was in the spot I would likely have pursued an academic position after a Ph.D. from Cambridge or Oxford or London School of Economics.................sounds pretty good to me.

No, they couldn't have.

When Andrew was of an age to go to university, only seven percent of all British people in his age group went to university, and only about twice that number received any sort of tertiary education at all. (Nowadays, about half of Britons in this age group do go to university.) Andrew reportedly got three A-levels, but I don't think his marks have ever been disclosed, which suggests that they weren't high enough to earn a place at any British university that would have been deemed suitable.

Harry got only two A-levels, namely an a B in Art and a D in Geology. Even now, applicants need three A-levels and better marks to get into university.

They would easily have been accepted to an elite school in the US. I'm guessing Canada as well.

I am sorry she felt the need to do this. Her father's behavior and crimes are not hers. Her mother's actions are not hers.

The article mentions that each of her parents has made her a potential witness into any investigation into her father's involvement in trafficking. Eugenie's position as the head of an anti-trafficking charity was untenable.

She was also noted to have visited the island for lunch at least once. Unfortunately, guilt by association?

Andrew Lownie, the author of Entitled, turned out to be right about Andrew. He has also said Beatrice and Eugenie do not have clean hands. Innocent until proven guilty, but Lownie has a good track record.

Reportedly, Prince William asked them to undergo a financial audit and they refused. I can see why they felt singled out by William and I do wonder who leaked that info.
