In my opinion, the Kate and William's studies do not match the studies of Princess Beatrix's children. We are talking about serious studies in History, Engineering, and advanced degrees. Kate studied Art History I believe, and William studied Geography. On the other hand, the king of the Netherlands even wrote a dissertation on foreign policy. With all due respect, I would call William and Kate's studies respectable, but not spectacular. And Beatrix's children got actual jobs, and so did their spouses. OK, Wilhelm Alexander did not because he was groomed for succession, but he did some very serious studies too.
