Having spent 3 years living in the countryside, Prince William will now spend 10 weeks learning how it's run. One day, as an heir, he will inherit the Cornwell Dukedom and with it the vast duchy of Cornwell estate, measuring 130,000 acres, much of which is agricultural land.
It's 13 years, since Prince William began his studies at St. Andrews University in Scotland. Alongside, a little fun out of the media glare.-William Wales.The future king earned a Scotish 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 is 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, funded privately by his family, ends in March.
-William has left operational services in the army forces for a 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. 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 is one saving grace. There will be no last-minute cramming for exams, because there aren't any.
