Even if Charles Armstrong-Jones may avoid some of the conventions tied to being a member of the royal family, he seems to embrace other opportunities presented to him. Education is one of these. Like his royal second cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, Viscount Linley chose Eton College as his place of education which he attended from 2012 to 2017. This decision to attend the prestigious boarding school not only continued a long-established royal tradition but also presented Armstrong-Jones with the opportunity to build a relationship with his cousin, Arthur Chatto, who attended Eton College at the same time, though the two cousins would ultimately embark on separate higher education and career paths.
After Armstrong-Jones graduated from Eton College in 2017, he made the choice to continue his education by enrolling in the public university of Loughborough University. Located in Leicestershire, England, Loughborough University emphasizes research. Although Viscount Linley's choice to attend this public university may have deviated from the royal tradition of attending more recognizable names, such as St. Andrews or the University of Cambridge, the quality of the education he received didn't suffer. While at Loughborough University, Armstrong-Jones studied Product Design Engineering — knowledge he put into practice with several internships. Charles Armstrong-Jones concluded his studies upon his graduation in 2021.
