"He had to get the appropriate entrance A-level grades"
See http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/the-prince-of-wales/biography/education
"The Prince, the first Heir to The Throne to sit public examinations, took his GCE O Levels at the age of 16, passing English language, English literature, Latin, French and history - and later mathematics.
He took his A Levels in July 1967, getting a B in history and a C in French, also gaining a distinction in an optional special paper in history."
I am still not suggesting that the man is stupid but it can't be said that he lacked any opportunities. Very few of us here would be able to attend Gordonstoun and many have far better qualifications who wouldn't have a hope in hell of being accepted into Cambridge University.
