Spare,
Prince Harry claimed
Prince William told him to act like a stranger while attending Eton College at the same time.
"At the time, it hurt," Harry told

Throughout his royal career,
Prince Harry championed athletics, and he claimed his time at Eton helped build that passion.
"Sport, I decided, would be my thing at Eton," Harry declared before explaining the difference between "dry sports" and "wet sports." "I was a dry who occasionally got wet. I played every dry sport, though rugby captured my heart."

"It's fair to say he had mixed feelings about the school when he left, but looking back on it, he can appreciate the good," a source told
The Daily Beast.

Though rumors swirled that Harry might be thinking of sending his kids to school in the U.K., his rep cleared the air.
"I can confirm that
Prince Harry has not registered Archie for Eton and the Duke has no plans to send his son to Eton," a spokesperson for
Prince Harry clarified in a statement.
