Meghan Markle beats Kate Middleton as ‘most intelligent royal

  • Meghan Markle went to Illinois’s prestigious Northwestern University.
  • Kate Middleton and Prince William are the most intelligent royal couple.
  • She also did well in her A-Levels, getting AAB.

Meghan Markle, who is 41, went to Illinois’s prestigious Northwestern University. A study says that the Duchess of Sussex has the best education of any member of the Royal Family because she went to the best school.

The QS World University Rankings put Northwestern University, where Meghan got a double major in theatre and international relations, at number 30 out of more than 1,350 schools.

This is 61 spots better than the second-best school attended by a royal, the University of St. Andrew’s.

Oxford Royale, an international education company, looked at the QS World University Rankings to find out which royal is the smartest.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are the most intelligent royal couple, coming in second and third place on the list of the most intelligent royals.

She also did well in her A-Levels, getting AAB. Even though Princess Beatrice, Eugenie’s sister, also did well on her A-Levels (ABB), Eugenie is the smarter of the two.

This is because Newcastle University ranks 327 places higher than Goldsmith’s, the school chosen by her older sister Princess Beatrice.

Princess Anne’s children Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall are also among the most intelligent royals.

Both of the royal children went to Exeter University, which is ranked 149th in the world by QS World University Rankings.

A spokesperson for Oxford Royale commented on the findings for Express.co.uk, arguing that the Duchess of Sussex is “unashamedly brilliant”.

They said: “Meghan Markle is an unashamedly brilliant woman, and her refusal to remain silent on complex, controversial issues from racism and injustice to period poverty and the need for paid parental leave is a testament to her intelligence and academic pedigree.

“Despite the fact that as the wife of Prince Harry, Meghan has married into a royal tradition of neutrality on key political issues (to preserve the stability of The Crown), the Duchess of Sussex has never let this prevent her from expressing her beliefs openly and articulately.

“Not only has Meghan had a successful career as an actress, but she also completed a degree in of the most complex and rigorous subjects available – International Relations – at a top academic institution.

“This has given her excellent preparation for a life and career where she will communicate continually with the public.

“Meghan and Harry’s marriage is a multi-skilled partnership; while the Prince opted not to attend university and serve in the army instead, the resilience and lateral thinking skills he will have gained from his military career, coupled with the natural empathy he has inherited from his mother, Princess Diana, will bring great strength to the couple as they navigate a lifetime in the spotlight.

“While the public focus is always on Kate Middleton’s impeccable fashion sense and style, she also shines as the second most intelligent member of the UK Royal Family.

“With impressive A-Level results and a degree from one of the UK’s strongest academic institutions, she is well equipped for a role which requires careful curation and intelligence.”
