Jack Whitehall and Kate Middleton went to the same secondary school – not that you’d know it.
The comedian, 32, has expressed his chagrin at the prestigious Marlborough College that they readily advetise the fact that the future Queen of England was a pupil there in her teens, but never mention Jack.
In a chat with The Sun, he branded himself the school’s ‘dirty little secret’ and even suggested they fix sports days at the posh college so that Kate’s name won’t be knocked off the public leader boards.
Bitter! Jack Whitehall and Kate Middleton went to the same secondary school – not that you’d know it
‘I went to the same secondary school as Kate Middleton and she’s someone they like to talk about. I’ve been sending them a letter each year saying maybe now it’s time to put me in the school prospectus or on the walls. I feel like I’m their dirty little secret!’ he exclaimed.
Jack and Kate’s time at the Wiltshire-based private school Marlborough College did not overlap, with the Duchess of Cambridge being six years older than him.
Yet the resentment is still there.
‘Kate Middleton is on all the record boards and holds school records – some of which are 20 years old and have never been broken. It makes you raise an eyebrow a little as to the validity of some of those awards, bearing in mind every other school record has been broken in recent history other than Kate’s,’ he fumed.

He admitted that he is given the same brush-off by his first school – The Dragon School in Oxford – where both he and tennis ace Tim Henman went.
‘All they ever bang on about is Tim!’ Jack cried.

Roxy and Jack are said to have made their romance exclusive just before the UK-wide coronavirus lockdown.
The comedian has shared his first Instagram post with the model and even posted a funny video of her giving him a quarantine haircut.
A source told The Sun: ‘Jack and Roxy are enjoying being in isolation together. It’s all very new but they’re in their own little bubble and things are perfect at the moment.

‘Being on lockdown in a honeymoon period is certainly one way to get to know each other quickly. But the more time they spend together the happier they seem.
‘Both have had their share of heartbreak and struggled a bit to find love. It’s time they had some luck.’
Roxy has a string of famous exes, having previously been linked to A-list actor Leonardo DiCaprio and singer Jake Bugg who she split from in December.
Jack has been linked to various women since calling it quits with actress Gemma Chan, 37, in December 2017 after six years together. She is now in a relationship with screen star Dominic Cooper.
