It was all over the rags at the weekend (more of a headline than the 3 R Sigs lads killed in an RTC and more important than another KIA in Afghanistan).
Non story and it aint exactly 'news'. Big deal, he bombed a groundschool paper? If anything, it demonstrates he's not being given a free ride through the course.

Whoaa, I wasn't suggesting he 'failed' on purpose to make him look like a normal person! He failed the paper because;
1. He's human
2. He wasn't sharp enough to get the paper from the previous course.

Excellent news for Harry, I would suggest. Failing Crit Point 1 isn't the end of the world by any means, and he can now prove that he is actually being assessed rather than mollycoddled through the cse.
Having encountered his older brother several times through flying training I can vouch for the fact that Wills was properly assessed for all his trips, and ran every risk of failing them. He was treated pretty much the same as any of the other students. I was there for his first solo drinks and saw him do his mucky pint as the rest of his course serenaded him with "Why was he born so beautiful?"
I also saw him making brew for his instructors more than once! I wish him the best of luck on the SAR force.

or maybe he was revising for his remedial EO training !!
I agree with wg13_dummy; this is not headline news. When will our media put things into context

Poor bugger can't win
Come on he has 5 minutes in the air and the press are already saying he is a waste of space.
I think Dad had many hours under his seat but was still capable of parking the odd BAe 146 sideways in the grass !!

'Twas a steep&cheerful downwind approach at unsensibly brisk speed to a shortish and notably wet runway.
The spot in the putty just off the downwind end of that runway where he buried mum's jet up to its oxters is still known locally as Holding Point Charlie.
Don't blame the genes, even if they are wingnut's and not Hewitt's.
The press article reports that HRH failed
Does that really mean he failed one of those very elementary 'Janet and John Learn to Fly' groundschool exams?
Remind me again, just what are his educational qualifications?
a theory-based flying test
