Where did all the royals go to uni? A serious investigation

You're at an afters, completely mangled after a big one and classic, a Ralph Lauren roadboy from Surrey starts droning on about how fucked it is that the UK still has a monarchy. He'll say: "I just think it's fucked like how they take our money, live in state-funded mansions and like will never have to work hard in their life. You know?"

And then you realise they're talking about you. You're the royal. So you emptily nod along because you don't know whether the people in the room realise they're talking about you and the rest of your extended royal family. That's a scenario I imagine all 25 members of the modern royal family who went to uni must have experienced at one point or another. But where did they all go to uni? We found out:

Prince William – University of St Andrews

When Prince William enrolled at St Andrews to study History of Art in 2001, there was an increase in the number of applications to St Andrews, mostly from young women who wanted to meet him. He later changed his main subject to Geography and graduated with a 2:1 in a Scottish Master of Arts degree.

At uni, he represented the Scottish national universities water polo team. He was also known "Steve" by people, to avoid any journalists overhearing and realising his identity. He also met Kate during his time at uni. Read more about their tumultuous relationship here.

Kate Middleton – University of St Andrews

Kate studied History of Art at St Andrews and met Will at a charity fashion show in 2002. Apparently, she first caught his eye when she appeared on stage wearing a see-through lace dress. They started dating in 2003 and lived together in second year. Kate graduated with a 2:1 in History of Art.
