Kate Middleton makes ‘heartbreaking’ decision about son’s future after her…
Kate Middleton has been left “heartbroken” as she faces the tough task of helping to decide her son’s future path.
The Princess of Wales and her husband Prince William are discussing where to send their eldest son Prince George once his time at Lambrook school comes to an end. Lambrook is a preparatory school, meaning it only caters for children between the ages of three and 13..
With Prince George fast approaching his 12th birthday, it won’t be long before he will move on to another school. Royal expert Katie Nicholl suggested William and Kate don’t agree on where their son should go next.
It’s believed Princess Kate wants to send George to a co-ed school in England so he can be with his siblings. However, the Prince of Wales is reportedly hoping George will follow in his footsteps and attend Eton.
Nicholl explained, “Kate’s preference is for George to be at a co-education school, so he can be with his siblings, which is what Kate experienced at Marlborough with her sister, Pippa, and brother, James. 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.”
Kate studied at Marlborough College in Wiltshire from 1996 to 2000. William, meanwhile, attended the prestigious all-boys boarding school Eton alongside his brother Prince Harry.
Speaking to The Mirror, the expert added, “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 mold and ends up somewhere else.”
Nicholl said that regardless of what happens, the decision will be made by William and Kate “with George’s best interests factored in.”
It’s believed George is currently enjoying his time at Lambrook school. Nicholl suggested it has provided a place of stability for the youngster as his mom has undergone treatment for cancer.
“When Kate was in hospital, George was on the football pitch playing with his friends. That sense of normality, of keeping the family going at one of the hardest times they’ve ever gone through, was important,” she explained.
