I believe Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan has an earned high-level degree (and of course, Masako herself graduated from Harvard). I'm trying to recall what Naruhito's graduate thesis was , something regarding transportation systems (??? :blink: )

Prince Philip attended Cheam and Gordonstoun Schools. After this he wen straight attended Dartmouth Naval College for his officer's training and commission.

Q. Elizabeth was educated at home I believe. She did however attend some classes at Eton College focusing on Constitutional Law (I believe this was private tuition, not with the other students at the all-boy school).
 
Victoria, Carl Philip and Madeleine of Sweden all went to "ordinary" swedish schools between age 7-19.
After that Victoria studied french in France 96/97 and after that she went on to Yale University in USA where she was a "special student" and took various courses in, among other things, art and french.
Carl Philip is at the moment a student at Forsbergs school of desing in Stockholm where he´s studying graphic design.
And then the little sister: Madeleine has studied science of art at Stockholm University for three semesters. This fall she studies Etnologhy.

Prince Carl Philip did not attend a normal school in gymnasiet/upper secondary school. Instead he chose Sweden's oldest private boarding school - and one of the few private schools left in the country. The annual tuition fee for the education is 174 000 SEK, about $25 808.

It depenmd on what you mean by "normal school"!
When I use the phrase "normal school" I mean a school that follows the swedish "läroplan". Meaning, not an education in private at the royal palace or something like that.
Yes, the students at Lundsberg are posh,rich children of the swedish nobility but its still a school that has the same subjects and way of teaching like all other schools in Sweden.

And if so, that means that neither Victoria or Madeleine went to normal schools either. Enskilda Gymnasiet also has a high fee.
But atleast, between the age of 7-16 Victoria and Carl Philip went to state schools(Smedslättskolan and Ålstenskolan). Madeleine started at Smedslättskolan and then started at Enskilda gymnasiet( Carlssons skola) when she was 10 and in 4th grade.

There are no schools in Sweden that doesn't follow the "läroplan" (educational curriculum set up by the Parliament). Private education (home schooling) at the Royal Palace, like the King received, would also have to follow the "läroplan" (educational curriculum) if still used. In Sweden, the only dinstinction between different forms of school is kommunala/municipalital schools, friskolor/semi-private and privat/private schools.

The schools of all the Swedish royal children belongs to the category friskolor/semi-private - except Prince Carl Philip's school Lundsberg, which he attended for upper secondary school. He also attended the boarding school Kent in Connecticut in the US.
 
Princess Märtha Louise is a certified physical therapist.

Crown Prince Haakon studied at UC Berkeley. He also has a Master's Degree from London School of Economics in International Politics.

King Harald studied at Balliol, Oxford.

All of the members of the Norwegian Royal family have spent the early years of their education in state-run schools, though Princess Astrid and Ragnhild were educated at home before the Second World War. During the war Princess Astrid, Princess Ragnhild and, then, Prince Harald was educated at American schools, and when they returned to Norway the princesses refused to be home-schooled again.
 
Does anybody know of more schools that various royals attended?
 
Prince Amedeo went to Sevenoaks in England.
 
Some royals actually preferred to study in schools in the own countries. Some in public or private schools.

But in the past, majority of the royals were really into boarding schools.
 
Prince Carl Philip also went to Kent in the US

Queen Sophia was student in Salem/Germany:

http://www.salemcollege.de/E0_00.html (english version)

Speech of her Majesty in 2000:

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,

When I received from Salem an invitation to take part in the opening

ceremony for the Salem International College, I accepted gladly. To my

great regret, however, I have had to withdraw again at short notice, for

the opening in Barcelona of the 3rd International Forum on Microenterprise

has been arranged for the same date. This I have to attend, having been

President of the Forum since its inception.

As an ex-pupil of Salem, however, I could not not let the day go by without

sending you my greetings and my very best wishes for the future. At Schule

Schloss Salem I received an excellent education; it remains with me today,

and I treasure my memories of it. My involvement in the Committee of the

United World Colleges shows how dear to my heart are Kurt Hahn's ideas on

the education of young people, worldwide, in the spirit of responsibility,

tolerance and personal understanding, above the diverse cultures of

different countries, regardless of frontiers. Schools like Salem, advancing

courageously along this path, deserve every encouragement.

I wish all of you, gathered together today at Salem, a wonderful day. And

for the International College, I can hope for no more than that it will

maintain the high reputation the name of Salem has deservedly gained over

the years for a long time to come.

Sophie R.
