Instead Of Just Fish-Chips, A Prince Likes Good Eton
Say what you want about the limited intelligence of those in-bred Brit-royals, one of them is smart enough to get into the prestigious English private school Eton.
That certain someone is Prince William, nearly 13 and the older of the two sons of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. According to London’s The Sun, “Prince Charles and Princess Di are delighted their son proved bright enough.”

Just what a family facing budgetary constraints needs.
