Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex is "the most intelligent member of the British royal family", according to a new study published by Oxford Royale. The education company has analyzed the academic credentials of members of the royal family, looking at their high school results and the ranking of colleges they have attended.

Meghan took first place, given that she graduated from the elite Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The Duchess has two degrees, in theater and international relations, from the prestigious college.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, emerged as the second most intelligent royal in the study.

Kate attended high school at Marlborough Private College in Wiltshire, England, where she achieved three A levels in her final year of school. She scored an A in math and art, and a B in English. Levels A are subjects studied by British students in the last two years of school and are required for entry into college. The better a student scores at level A, the more likely he or she will be allowed to enter an elite university. She went on to study at St. Louis University. Andrews.

Prince William was proclaimed the third most intelligent king. Kate was considered smarter than the next king after she surpassed her in the A-level exams. William scored an A in geography, a B in art and a C in biology during his final year of high school.

William's brother, Prince Harry, did not even make the Oxford Royale's top 10 list. He only achieved two A levels in high school; marking a B in art and a D in geography. He did not attend college.

Meanwhile, a number of famous cousins ??of William and Harry were ranked in the top 10 list.
