Could a royal become a teacher?

[raindropsandmiracle]

This might be a weird question but I' going to ask it anyway, could a member of the royal family be a school teacher? I am on my PGCE this year and it made me think if I was a royal I would still be determined to become a teacher and not let obstacles to get in my way.

Prince William worked part time for sixteen months, after a specialy accelerated training course put on just for him at vast expense to the taxpayer.

who do you have in mind as a prospective husband - Andrew?

I don't follow the royal family, but can't think of many single male royals

No reason why not. There would be security considerations and this might affect the type of school where they work - certain independent and international schools already have very high-profile pupils and therefore have security in place. I think you might be less likely to find them working in an ordinary state comprehensive.

It's not quite the same but Nicky Blair did Teach First and worked in a very challenging school for a couple of years.

I remember once reading an interview with Tara Palmer- Tompkinson and her saying she wanted to be a vet (I think?) when she was young but people “like her” couldn’t go into professions like that. I always found that so odd because until she decided to become an IT girl she wasn’t known to 99% of the public.

In a similar vein, I record a fairly minor royal (like Beatrice and Eugenie’s kids or Prince Louis / future family) could easily have a normal job in the future and it wouldn’t seem that weird to most of the public, but they’d themselves probably see it as a bigger deal / if not impossible because of their own ideas.

The ones whose educational achievements I'm aware of seem to be intellectually middling at best, and demonstrably thick at worst, despite their elite educations, and 'help' from teachers with exam projects in some cases.

I would absolutely watch a 'Royals' edition of Celebrity Mastermind, though. It would be depressing or hilarious, depending on how you viewed it.

Part time music teacher, pilot, flying helicopters is just acceptably indulging your hobby. They might tutor at prestigious schools, but I doubt they'd be a teacher in the broad sense. I could see their experiences as being of use to the young of celebrities and the very rich.

Teaching is incredibly hard work, apart from anything else, especially when done well. Where would these people have acquired a work ethic from, particularly if they don't need to earn a living?
