The 2 Dannish princes and the Greek one as well were working in a shipping company at one time atfer graduating from school,I dont know why his father cant set him up in any British firm instead of following his wife into showbiz.
Most jobs require a college degree and Harry isn't the brightest.

How the Royal Family did in their A levels - including Princes William and Harry, Kate and Meghan
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all took their A-levels just like everybody else.

While you could expect the best private education to give you the best grades, this hasn't really been the case for the Royals, as they have a real mixed bag of exam results under their belts.

The Queen spent her former days learning the ropes of the monarchy, but her children had a more normalised experience of education, with all the younger Royals studying for their A levels, and almost all going on to university.

Here's how some of the Royal Family did in their A level exams:

Prince William was educated at independent schools and attended the well-known Eton College in 1995. By 2000, he'd picked up fairly mixed results at A level with an A in geography, a B in art and a C in biology.

Straight out of Eton, William went on a gap year, where he took part in army training in Belize and visited Africa. The following year, William went on to study History of Art at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and then later changed course to geography.

He achieved an upper second-class honours in 2005. St Andrews University was where he met his future wife, Catherine Middleton.

Although Prince Harry no longer uses the 'royal highness' title, he is still officially a prince and is sixth-in-line to the throne. Slightly less academic than his big brother, Harry achieved two passes with a B in art and a D in geography back in 2003.

On the announcement, his father said in a statement on the royal website: "I am very proud of Harry. He has worked hard for these examinations and I am very pleased with today’s results." Similarly to his brother, he studied at Eton College, but unlike William he decided against university.

The Duke of Sussex excelled in sports and instead pursued a successful career in the army. Before this, Harry took on a gap year where he travelled across the country to Australia, Africa and Argentina.

Harry seems to have trouble fitting in everywhere.

Quote:
According to The Cut, an old schoolmate named Jim (who graduated in 2004) revealed that William had an easier time fitting in than Harry.

“William was very integrated,” Jim said. “There’s this sort of society in your top year where if you’re kind of popular or beloved by teachers and boys alike you get voted into the Eton society, which is known as ‘Pop,’ and you got to choose your own waistcoat and wear special trousers. William was a Pop so he was like a homecoming-king type, but Harry wasn’t — I think Harry probably had it harder finding his way.”

If Harry had gone to college, done well and was well liked, he would have a real job now. But he didn't go to college, has a bad boy reputation from drug and alcohol use, partying and playing strip pokers - https://www.tmz.com/2012/08/21/princ...s-hotel-party/

I'm sure Greek and Danish royals were serious people who worked hard. So far, that isn't Harry.

He still has time to attend college, graduate and get a good job like the other royal families of Europe. He doesn't seem to want it. It's the saddest dimension of his story and his book Spare

I’m having a tough time finishing this book. So far, he’s just completed boot camp and it’s endless whining and entitlement. It’s like Harry Potter angst when he’s falsely accused by the Daily Prophet.

Just sayin' I have a lot of compassion for Harry and MM...no one's perfect ...they need some therapy,
as we all do, imo. Lots of childhood injustices have been done to us, and, boy,
do we have baggage.

It's the stupid move Harry made writing this book that's my issue.
I still like them just fine...and wish them well.

Refusing to buy or read the book I wonder if he told that when in the army everyone had to be checked for drugs but Harry was summoned quickly back to the palace ... so never had the test done..

His situation is different,he married outside his circle.
But he was warned prior to marriage.
It seems all celebrities,royal or not royal pay a price,look at Elvis daughter and grandkids.
The saddest case is the Shah of Iran 's children,they cannot adjust to a civilian life.

I dont think a college degree is why Harry cant find a job,it is just a piece of paper.
Given his grooming and exposure,he may not need a degree,if his father can place him in a job with a Brtish company,he will learn.Bill Gates did not get a degree.
