Question
Dear Respected Sir,
The Question I'm Asking You is regarding the Education, Training, and Grooming of a Crown Prince for his Future Role as the Sovereign of His Country.

I'd like to know What, exactly were/are the Lessons Taught to the Heirs-apparent to the Throne; I'd also like to know what all was/are the Subjects in which He was Expected to be Proficient in.

How exactly were/are the Princes of Wales prepared for Public Life?

How exactly were/are they Prepared to Rule?

I eagerly await your Most Esteemed reply.
Yours,
M.

Answer
The Prince of Wales is the first born son of the current Monarch (in the future the Duke of Cambridge will become Prince of Wales) and as a result the first port of call is usually a school such as Eton in South East England. As to the actual upbringing of a Monarch's child that I couldn't say as I am not really privy to that.
