Contact: ETON EXPELS BOY WHO TOOK CANNABIS

A BOY at Eton, where Princes William, 16, and Harry, 14, are pupils, has
been expelled for smoking cannabis.

A school spokesman said yesterday: "A boy was asked to leave the school
earlier this week in connection with a drugs incident. This is an internal
matter that has been dealt with by the headmaster, who will not comment on
disciplinary matters within the school."

The boy, who has not been named, was caught smoking cannabis by Angus
Graham-Campbell, housemaster at Common Lane House. A report in a newspaper
yesterday said the boy was in the same lower sixth year as Prince William.
John Lewis, the headmaster from New Zealand, has maintained a strict
approach towards illegal drugs since he took over in 1994.

In March, two sixth formers aged 17 and 18 were excluded from Eton after a
policeman caught them smoking cannabis in Windsor, a mile from the school.
