Prince Harry was so bad at art that his teachers did projects for him to make sure he would pass, a former art teacher at Eton claimed this week. Sarah Forsyth, who is fighting her dismissal from the prestigious private school, said the head of the art department had painted one of Harry’s projects, and that she herself had written the text for another. The prince’s grades on his college entrance exams were barely high enough to get him into the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where Harry began a 44-week officer-training course this week. Eton said Forsyth was fired for incompetence and made the story up out of pique.
