Prince Harry, 38, has never concealed his belief that he and his brother Prince William received different treatment as children because William was the heir to the throne.
Pa and William could never be on the same flight together because there must be no chance of the first and second in line to the throne being eliminated, he explained in his autobiography Spare. However, it didn’t matter who I traveled with because the Spare could always be saved. I was aware of this and my place.

William chose to attend university, whereas Harry did not, which is a significant educational difference between the two men. However, the duke has clarified his personal decision in a different book chapter.
He said that the media had spread false reports that he regretted his decision to forgo attending university, but he insisted: “I never once regretted my decision to skip university.”

Harry received the same early education as his brother William, going to Wetherby School and Ludgrove School before graduating from Eton.
He decided to spend ten months at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst completing officer commissioning training rather than leaving for college.
After ten years of service, Harry achieved the rank of Captain while serving two tours in Afghanistan.

But William went to the University of St. Andrews in Scotland after taking a year off, and he earned a 2:1 in geography there in 2005. This is where he first met Princess Kate, who is now his wife and was also a student of art history at the time.
Harry acknowledged he could have expressed his gratitude for his private education at the time when he was speaking to Malala Yousafzai about the value of education for all people.

“I’m incredibly appreciative of the education I had the good fortune to receive. I probably wasn’t as appreciative at the time, but now that I think about it, I’m incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity,” he said.
Richard Mineards provided us with a special perspective on the kind of education Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana may have received close to their Montecito home when he spoke on HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast.

So if Archie decides to pursue a state education, the junior school he attends after this preschool will be his next stop, according to Richard. Our local junior high school, Montecito Union School, is extremely good and is attended by many Tony names, famous and wealthy people’s children.
Then, as I mentioned, he could attend Cold Springs, or they might declare that they want to pursue a private education.
