IT'S GCSE results day and teens across the county are finding out their results – and commiserating or celebrating.
It's a nerve-wracking experience for every student – even the royal ones. So how did Prince William, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle fare?
Well, it's safe to say their marks were varied. So, from GCSEs, and A levels to university, Fabulous takes a closer look at how they performed.
Prince Harry
Harry spent his pre-preparatory years at Wetherby School in Notting Hill, before attending Ludgrove School, in Berkshire, defying the family tradition of attending Gordonstoun, a boarding school in Scotland where his father Prince Charles went.
Both Harry and William then attended Eton College, following in the Spencer family footsteps from their mother Princess Diana's side.
Harry gained 11 GSCEs, but was said to prefer sporting activities outside of the classroom, representing Eton in rugby, polo and cricket.

Harry left school in 2003 with two A-levels -a B in Art and a D in geography after deciding to drop history of art after AS level.
He went on to take a gap year in Australia, before joining the army and attending Sandhurst Military College.
He admitted while he is now "hugely grateful" for the education he was lucky enough to have, he didn't always feel that way.
Kate Middleton
High achiever Kate got 11 GCSEs at St Andrew’s School in Pangbourne, West Berkshire, before attending nearby boarding school Downe House then transferring to £12,000-a-year Marlborough College in Wiltshire.

She went on to gain an A in maths, an A in art and a B in English at A level.
The Princess of Wales then took a well-earned gap year but continued to learn, studying Italian and history of art at the British Institute of Florence.
The impressive grades were enough to give her the opportunity to go to St Andrews University.
This is where she met her future husband, and she left with a 2:1 degree in History of Art.
Prince William
Similarly to Harry, Prince William studied at Ludgrove in Berkshire, before attending nearby Eton College in 1995.
He left with 12 GCSEs and three A-Levels – an A in Geography, B in Art and C in Biology.
He went on to have a gap year before going on to the University of St Andrews to study Art History, the same as his future wife-to-be, eventually changing courses to study Geography, where he left with a 2:1 degree.
He then took a much-deserved gap year and went backpacking through Kenya and South America.
The Prince then went to St Andrews University to study art history initially, before switching to geography and eventually graduating with a 2:1.
King Charles
Charles first attended Hill House School in London, then went to Cheam School, Hants., the oldest private school in the country.
He was then sent to study at remote Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun, in the 1960s by his father Prince Philip – who had also studied there.
Charles apparently hated it, branding it "Colditz in kilts" and was the first Prince of Wales to be educated at a school, as opposed to private tutors.
He got five O-levels in English Language, English Literature, history, Latin and French.
He then went on to achieve two A-Levels, a B in history and C in French, before going to Cambridge University and getting a 2:2 in history.
There's a rumour his bodyguard, who attended all his lectures with him, also sat the exams – and got a first.
Meghan Markle
Harry's American wife Meghan Markle studied at Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, and later graduated from Northwestern University, Illinois.
While her SAT results aren't known, the Duchess of Sussex achieved high enough grades to get into university, and she gained a double major in Theatre and International Relations.
Her former drama teacher Gigi Perreau also sung Meghan's praises, telling Australia's The Morning Show: “I always said she had a certain sparkle about her.
"She was very driven, I would say she wanted to be a star, she wanted to be a success."
The well-rounded Duchess also completed an internship at the American embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and studied for one term in Spain.
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret were educated at home, as was the norm at the time for girls in rich families.
Consequently, it meant the Queen never sat an academic exam in her life, and therefore doesn't have any official results.
When born, little Lilibet, as she was affectionately known, was never expected to be Queen, but that's not to say she wasn't extremely well educated.
It's reported that she spent most of her childhood being home schooled for just an hour and a half each morning, as her parents wanted her to have fun.
However she was still extremely intelligent, studying art, music and French, had lessons in religion by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and had a passion for horse riding.
Princess Eugenie
Eugenie is said to have some of the most impressive exam results within her extended family.
She has nine GCSEs, including two A*s, four As and three Bs, with her top subjects history and drama, which she achieved at St George's School in Ascot, West Berkshire.
In her A levels she achieved an A in art, an A in English Literature and a B in history of art while at Marlborough College, Hants..
She went to Newcastle University and studied English literature, history of art and politics and left with a 2:1.
Princess Beatrice
Beatrice was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was seven, making aspects of her education especially challenging, but that's not to say it held her back.
The princess gained nine GCSEs including two A*s while at St George's School.
