A new study has crowned Meghan Markle as the smartest member of the UK Royal family.
The research, was conducted by the international education provider Oxford Royale, who analysed QS World University Rankings on everything from academic reputation to faculty-to-student ratio for the institutions attended by key members of the Royal Family,
Experts claim this has helped them discover which royal is the brightest of all.
The results also show that Kate Middleton is the UK’s second cleverest Royal, attending the University of St Andrews alongside husband Prince William, but beating him due to better A level results.
Princess Eugenie, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall are also among the most intelligent members of the Royal Family.
However, it is the Duchess of Sussex who tops the intelligence list.
Princess Eugenie takes the crown as the UK’s fourth smartest Royal.
She studied history of art and English literature at Newcastle University.
Lady Kitty Spencer, 30, who is the niece of Princess Diana, is the only royal on the list to have a master’s degree.
A spokesman for Oxford Royale, who analysed the list, said: “Life as a Royal isn’t always an easy job, and involves a lot of dealing with extensive scrutiny and life in the public spotlight, and Meghan Markle’s academic strengths have equipped her perfectly for this role.
“While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have resigned from their roles as working Royals, they have captured the interest and attention of the world, and Meghan’s desire to use her platform to raise awareness over serious world issues reflects her intelligence, analytical mind and educational pedigree”.
