Prince William To Attend Cambridge University

The Duke is taking up full-time studies in preparation for his future role running the land and property of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Having spent three years living in the countryside,Prince William will now spend ten weeks learning how it's run. One day as heir,he will inherit the Cornwall Dukedom and visit the vast Duchy of Cornwall state,measuring 130,000 acres much of which is agricultural land. It's 13 years since Prince William began his study at St Andrews University in Scotland. Alongside,a little fun out of the media glare. The future king earned a Scottish Master of Art degree in geography with two won honors. But with his military duties having ended in September,following the birth of Prince George, it's back to the books,20 hours of seminars and lectures a week. But this time here,at Cambridge University,and because there will be early morning,one-to-one tutorials,the Duke will stay in town much of the time until the course founded privately by his family ends in March.

William has left operational services in the arm forces for good reason. He's not able to devote himself full time to being away from royal duties. There are certain duties that he needs to carry out now and so he can do a ten-week course,but it's not possible for him to do a one-year course or a two-year course and probably not necessary for him to do that either. And so I think ten weeks allows him to get a good understanding of the things he needs to know.

While learning the life of the land,William will also have to joggle fatherhood and the occasional royal duty. But there's one saving grace,there will no last-minute cramming for exams because there aren't any.
