If we should believe what the official document for the Grand Ducal family says, which aren't very informative or updated, he's still studying for a degree in political science and history at the University of Durham, England. But he's been doing that for like 4 years now, so I'd say it's about time that he gets a degree soon if he hasn't yet...
I totally agree,
aim pretty sure he should have obtained his degree by now.
I hope he hasnt failed

Well, I from what I understand, from the government website, http://www.gouvernement.lu/dossiers/...ier/index.html
Guillaume is currently studying at London, (LSE perhaps?)

Caption from the website:
"Actuellement, le Prince suit des cours de politique internationale à Londres."

The last time I took a peek at this page about him, the above sentence was not there, so I assume that the page is indeed update and he is currently taking International Politics classes at London.

Gaillaume accompanied Prince Edward of England around on Sunday and Monday to various engagements. Are there any photos or news articles about the events?

perhaps LSE. if maria laura ends up going to LSE with amadeo it wouldn't be a huge shock if guillaume ends up doing a degree at LSE along with whatever m-l and amedeo are studying.

didn't guillaume try and get a political science degree at Durham college?

most college students change their majors and minors all the time . So he's just kind of acting like a normal college student even though he really doesn't have much choice on his majors and minors. Luckily he's back in school, which probably makes MT and Henri happy.

maby because he has started to participate more in the public life thete in luxembourg .. he respresents/companies his parents a lot more in official engagements and he even goes with them in state visits.. that obviously keeps him apart from university life .. and even more if he is/was studying in england (far away from lux)...

You do have a point. I know some colleges have summer courses he could possibly be doing that. That way he can attend more public events during the winter and spring.

No, she won't have a choice, as far as her titles go...she'll take Guillaume's titles.

Yeah, not much of a choice on that one.
As for his studies, he might have wanted to do something to mix things up and study art or something? He obviously took a break so he needed it mixed up a bit

I think that Guillaume needs a time to relax.... I think that he prefers to enter himself more in the subjects of State and later he will already have time to culminate his studies…. There are times in which one needs time to relax of the study… and if it is for a reason like the one of him…

Speaking of Guillaume, I saw him on RTL, leaving the wedding, and thought that boy, this lad has finally arrived. Not everyone is born with easy, relaxed charm, but he seems to have found it finally. Within the last months, he has lost the extra weight he had, the beard, and has started to look like a proper grown-up Promising. Very promising.

It does look like he's been spending more time on his physical appearance. Almost like he had a revolutionary summer vacation.
