True. I'm of the opinion that creating the love of reading (learning) could be more important than schooling. From the article, you'll get the sense that the prince could think outside the established ways of doing things in the government. I'd wager that his father's reading exercises caused this.

As for his mother's actions, I believe children who are exposed to more adults (especially experts), grow up to be quite confident and unencumbered by their age or perceived inexperience.
From my view, those who put the prince in trouble with the previous king were less annoyed by the changes than the fact that a 26 year old BOY (prince) was causing changes.
