As far as I know he completed the studies he was following at Bocconi.

The university life of Caroline and the Casiraghis is exactly the topic on which I have a most pressing question for anyone and all who might be able to shine the light on this cobwebby brain of mine! I have, indeed, read the "new" book, the "remarkable life" (paraphrasing) of Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline née Grimaldi dit Hanovre. There was a claim in those pages which piqued my curiosity immensely, that La Princesse took both British A Levels and the French BAC exam. First question: Is that even possible without one's head exploding?!
I had been under the impression that she pursued the general secondary education (the O levels) in England. If in fact she did A Levels at St. Mary's, do we know which subjects? (The aforementioned book did not specify, much to my disappointment.) I know that Caroline is every inch as enlightened and brilliant as she is GORGEOUS, but I'm curious if my estimation is too modest, for if this claim by the author is true, then Caroline seems to me worthy of the stature and praise accorded to the superhero.

Of course, it's probable that Rainier did A levels and French BAC too? I think he did A Levels at Stowe and then he did whatever one does to enter Sciences Po? (And Caroline did those too, apparently!) That just sounds like an awful lot of exams to me!

Caroline’s biography on the Palace’s website says indeed that she obtained A-levels (but not the subjects) an then the French Bac.

I believe Princess Caroline has A-levels in several languages but I can't remember which. Will need to check. She did then take her Bac the following year.

Prince Rainier did not take A levels as he was no longer at Stowe - he had moved to Le Rosey.
