Could Prince George spend time at a STATE school? William & Kate do like to shake things up
The prospect of Prince George forgoing an education at Eton College in favor of time at a state school has been explored by royal supporters.
Royal reporters Richard Palmer and Kate Nicholl discussed the important decision that Princess Kate, 42, and Prince William, 42, must make over Prince George’s education in an interview with royal reporter Bronte Coyon on this week’s edition of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive.
Bronte claims that Kate and William aren’t sure which school is best for their eleven-year-old eldest kid, Prince George.
According to Bronte, it appears that Kate and William disagree somewhat over where he ought to attend—whether it be a coeducational institution or a residential school.
Katie, the royal writer for Vanity Fair, responded to this by saying: They will need to decide quickly which school Prince George will attend because Barkshire’s Lambrook, which all three kids attend, is a pre-prep.
In the UK, going to your next school at the age of thirteen is a natural step, and for William and Harry, it was Eton.

Katie realized that George would probably follow in his father’s footsteps and attend Eton College, a Berkshire secondary school for boys aged 13 to 18 that charges fees and requires boarding.
We know Harry didn’t have a great time there, but William did, she continued.
He flourished at Eton and enjoyed it. He naturally went on to St Andrew’s and excelled there as well.
However, she also noted the likelihood that the child princess will follow in her mother’s footsteps and attend Marlborough, a public school in Wiltshire for students ages 13 to 18.
The royal expert went on to say that Catherine, who attended Marlborough, had always admired the concept of a coeducational institution.
In actuality, the kids attended Thomas’s in Battersea, which was coed, prior to Lambrook.

Kate’s personal experience was attending school alongside her sister Pippa and brother James.
An alternative is for them to travel to Marlborough.
Since Kate and William both boarded and enjoyed it, I believe it has less to do with boarding because they believe it plays a role in their kids growing up to be young adults.
“I think the big question is, is it going to be Eton and following in tradition and obviously George going to an all boys school, or will they break the tradition and go to a co-ed school?” Katie said, acknowledging the Waleses’ wish to change things up.
They have to make a significant decision, but I don’t think they’re at logger heads, and I’m not making this sound like a fight.
They visited the schools, and I suppose we will find out what they decided to do eventually.
The one hobby Kate Middleton is ‘terrified’ Prince George will take up
PRINCESS Prince George taking up a pastime that Kate “absolutely hates” is reportedly causing Kate anxiety.
Prince William has been a longtime fan of the sport in question—motorcycling.
She acknowledged in 2015 that she was afraid about William’s motorcycling habit.
Kate admitted: “He continues to ride it. Every time he goes out on it, I’m filled with terror. I’m afraid.
“Hopefully, I’m going to keep George off it.”
It seems that the Waleses have placed a greater focus on family time this year than ever before due to Kate’s cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment.
In spite of this, Katie revealed: I believe that Kate and George are quite close, but as I mentioned earlier, they both had such amazing boarding school experiences that I believe it will come naturally to them.
It will undoubtedly be a boarding school, in my opinion.
“I think it’s a great shame that our future head of state doesn’t actually go to a state school,” Richard Palmer responded.
And if it were to occur, I believe it would be wonderful.
If George is at Eton, they are obviously just around the corner, but I believe that what usually happens is that the kids themselves don’t want to be leaving home every day because they aren’t truly part of the school community. Katie is right, I believe, in that sending their children away is second nature for people of their social background.
Since you desire to be a boarder, I assume that all of the children—even those who attend nearby schools—will wind up boarding.
Kate Middleton’s ‘golden rule’ with George, Charlotte and Louis
Kindness is Kate’s main guideline for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The Royal Correspondent for Hello! Online claims: “Observations of pictures of Princess Diana at the time and the current Princess of Wales show that they are both very loving with their kids.
“When her kids were younger, Kate was frequently spotted holding their hands or bringing them up for hugs.
Many reassuring actions, such caressing their hair or giving them a slap on the back, are frequently used. Kate frequently lowers herself to the level of the children she interacts with during her public appearances, something Diana would also do.
Despite her royal status, insiders claim that Kate is just like any other “normal mum” while she is at the family’s Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage.
The 42-year-old is “very chilled at home” behind closed doors, according to a pal, but he is also firm and will discipline the children when necessary.
“It’s a typical, hectic family home with kids running around and knocking things over,” they told PEOPLE. Airs and graces are absent.
“She is taking that action to help her kids maintain a sense of reality and become more grounded. For her, that is what counts most.
Then, though, Bronte realized: [There are] discussions about the likelihood that George’s path will diverge in other ways, or that it will be distinct from that of his predecessors.
because it appears that Kate and William want to at least consider the possibility of doing things in a different way.
Richard acknowledged and agreed, saying: “Yes, perhaps, and perhaps he’ll spend a term at a state school. Perhaps Eton or wherever he goes has a scheme swapping with a state school.”
It is up to them. It should be up to each parent to decide which school to send their children to. The additional 20% VAT on school fees is obviously not going to worry them too much.
Kate Middleton’s down-to-earth school run look
Even while we’ve seen beautiful pictures of Kate putting the kids off at Lambbrook School before, the reality is far less glamorous than you may think.
“There are no blow-dries – it’s always hair up in a ponytail,” a pal told the Daily Record.
She apologizes for being late for the school run and then quickly leaves in her gym attire, a dress and sneakers, and minimal makeup.
It’s just a different kind of day job than most people; it’s the life of a working mother with three small children.
In fact, it was said that parents hardly looked at Kate at all when they dropped George and Charlotte off at their old school, St. Thomas’ in South London.
“No one really gives Kate a second glance when she does the school drop-off,” a parent told the Daily Mail.
“We have a Victoria’s Secret model doing the school run, too, and the dads are far more interested in her.”
As Katie noted, “I think they’re quite traditionalist in that respect,” she acknowledged Kate and Will’s traditionalist tendencies. George is quite similar to his father in that he plays polo and is learning how to fly helicopters.
I believe that William will most likely wind up at Eton because he had such a great time there.
It is practically a right of passage in that environment, and if George does wind up at Eton, he will be close to both his parents and the King.

I think the greatest breaking of mould would not be a state school, as much as I would also love that to happen Richard, I don t think it will, but I think if it was Marlborough, that would be a breaking of the mould and would of course enable them to be together, the three children.
I wonder if the compromise will be found there. We’ll find out soon enough, I suppose.
