Yale students excited over possible Prince Harry enrollment

Star-struck students at Yale University are in a tizzy over the rumor that Prince Harry is coming to New Haven, Conn., to matriculate at Yale Law School.

“Everyone was talking about it around the campus. Big buzz!” one alumnus told me.

But experts on the Windsors were skeptical.

“I doubt it,” royal-watcher Richard Mineards said. “Harry’s not the brightest bulb in the palace chandelier. His entry exam for Eton [boarding school] was delayed because he wasn’t considered up to taking it.“

Another Brit recalled the allegations that “Harry famously got his teacher to do the written element of his A1 Level exam at Eton.”

Harry, who excelled at polo and rugby, graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst before becoming a helicopter pilot and serving two tours of duty in Afghanistan.

But my source said, “That’s not an academic degree. That just means you can march neatly, follow orders and polish your boots.”

Harry, fifth in line of succession to the throne, might want to come to Yale to find a bride. At 31, having dated a string of nubile maidens, he’s under pressure to settle down, and could be ready to give American women a chance.

Sources said former British PM Tony Blair, who briefly lectured at Yale starting in 2008, could smooth the admissions process, as he did in 2006 for his own son, Euan Blair, who even got a $92,000 scholarship.

“Yale would be over the moon to get Harry as a student,” one insider said. “Imagine the kind of fundraising they could do.”
