Prince George is poised to take the next step in his royal education, by which we mean the time has almost come for him to attend secondary school. Apparently, England’s heir—who currently goes to school at Lambrook with his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—is just 18 months from graduating, which means Kate Middleton and Prince William are shopping for new schools.
And turns out they might do things differently than the norm. By which we mean abandon royal tradition and opt NOT to send George to Eton.
The Daily Mail reports that Kate has been seen touring two “elite North London day schools” called University College School and Highgate School. However, the Princess of Wales is reportedly leaning toward’s her own alma mater, Marlborough College, due to the fact that it’s co-ed (meaning all three of their kids could go there) and it has the best security.
According to The Mirror (via the Post), Wills wants George to attend Eton (where he went to school) and Kate is “heartbroken” at the prospect.
“Kate’s preference is for George to be at a co-educational school, so he can be with his siblings, which is what Kate experienced at Marlborough with her sister, Pippa, and brother, James,” royal expert Katie Nicholl said. “It was a very happy school life for her, but William has very fond memories of Eton, which has a long history with aristocrats and members of the royal family. There’s always the possibility of traditions being changed. William and Harry didn’t end up following in their father’s footsteps by going to Gordonstoun [in Scotland], and it may be that George breaks the Eton mould and ends up somewhere else.”
Guess we’ll…see what happens!
