In fact, the prince even once made the shocking comment that he would rather have attended an underfunded school in South Africa instead.
As reported by The Mirror, on a royal tour of a correction centre in Cape Town in 2015, when he was still a working royal, Harry said: “I didn’t enjoy school at all.
“I would like to have come to a place like this. When I was at school I wanted to be the bad boy.”
Harry said this is because the boys were separated into two groups based on what sports they liked, but the prince found that he liked a bit of everything, making it hard for him to fit into one category.
He wrote: “Sport, I decided, would be my thing at Eton.
“Sporty boys were separated into two groups: dry bobs and wet bobs. Dry bobs played cricket, football, rugby, or polo. Wet bobs rowed, sailed, or swam. I was a dry who occasionally got wet. I played every dry sport, though rugby captured my heart. Beautiful game, plus a good excuse to run into stuff very hard. Rugby let me indulge my rage. I simply didn’t feel pain the way other boys did, which made me scary on a pitch.”
