England's Prince William and Prince Harry are two of the most recognizable faces on the planet. As immediate successors of one of the most prolific dynasties in the world, they are media magnet almost everywhere they went. While we see them as universal figures, not everyone has a grasp of what their student life was. In fact, due to royal security, the two princes' public life are widely guarded.
Although the two princes have a handful of differences, they also share some similarities especially when it comes to academic background. It is a fact that Prince Harry did not go to a university unlike his older brother, but these two princes do share a common academic background. Both of them attended Eton College.
Eton College is one of the most highly regarded colleges in Britain. It is within he pillars of this great college where some of the brightest minds of the country have gone through.
Eton College has a respected history of honing some of Britain's most talented minds. Not only that, it is also considered as a breeding ground of some of the country's most talented actors. Among those that walked the halls of the school are Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne, and Damian Lewis.
It is easy to pigeonhole the two brothers into a black and white persona. Nevertheless, their former colleagues have nothing but praises for their academic prowess. In fact, the two brothers are almost alike in a lot of ways, especially in their academic background.
Despite bearing the fact that they are two of the most immediate heir to the British throne, the brothers are humble with their status when they were in school. One former classmate described Prince Harry as, "He had normal friends; he used to go to people's birthday parties. He used to go out with people in London and go to clubs."
Whether they broke royal protocol is an interesting point. Nevertheless, it would appear that the brothers did enjoy their student life while they were at it. A former teacher was even quoted as subjecting Prince Harry into a number of disciplinary actions. This simply shows that despite the unusual amount of status the public bestows upon the brothers, they still exhibit a normal lifestyle. It is hard to distinguish royalty from common folks, but with Prince William and Prince Harry, they have certainly made it more appealing to the common folks.
