Britain's Prince William learned Saturday that he had achieved a master of arts degree in geography.
The 22-year-old son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana logged onto the Internet to discover that he had received a 2:1 grade for his four-year course at St. Andrews University, Scotland.
A 2:1 denotes an upper second-class degree, a very respectable achievement.
The prince, who is second in line to the British throne, did better than his father, who received a 2:2, or lower second class degree for his honors degree in history at Trinity College, Cambridge.
"William got an upper second class honors (degree). He's delighted. Everyone is absolutely delighted. His father's very proud," said a spokesman for Charles's Clarence House office.
