Prince Harry’s Bottom of the Class
2003-09-15
Prince Harry’s D grade in geography was the worst A-level result of his year at Eton, it has been revealed.
You would think that Geography would be an important subject to royalty.
The prince, 19 today, needed only two A-levels at any grade to get into Sandhurst for officer training. His other A-level was art in which he achieved grade B.
Maybe he should be looking at concentrating on staging different art pieces throughout London. You know turkey on the head...
His poor performance was inadvertently revealed by Eton head, Tony Little, at a beginning-of-term assembly.
Maybe having his grades released publically even in the Western hemisphere will motivate him to do better.

#3  Sorry, for dumping on him. Was going for the bizarre take of the "No-Child-Left-Behind" angle. Everybody in class is doing well compared to Harry and he's somebody. Wonder if Tony Little has posted a resume on the British equivalent of Monster.com.

#2  Cut him a break. He probably knows more about geography than most 19 year olds, and he's headed into officer training. I feel sorry for the kid -- it has been and will continue to be a life of misery, and there's no escape. Mom's dead, dad's a jerk, and the press hounds the hell out of him.
