James, Earl of Wessex, 18, is set to begin university studies after receiving the grades needed to enroll. Multiple outlets report that he will study “Rural Land & Property Management” at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, starting this autumn.
The reports add that he has been working as a farmhand over the summer, framing the move as preparation for the subject he will study. Both accounts describe his course choice and timing in the same way, and both identify him as the son of Prince Edward and Sophie.
While the articles are presented in a lifestyle-oriented style, they converge on the central details: his age, successful attainment of the A-level grades required for entry, the specific program and university location, and the summer farmhand work that precedes the course.
