The Prince and Princess of Wales prepare to make one major decision about Prince George’s future, according to one royal expert.
Speaking on this week’s episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive, royal reporters Richard Palmer and Katie Nicholl discuss what could be in store for the 11-year-old.
The reporters are said to have discussed the possibility that the couple could ditch the idea of their eldest son attending Eton College in favour of a state school.
According to Bronte Coy, Kate and William are said to be unsure over which school they want George to attend, with the end of his journey at Lambrook School fast approaching.
She claimed: “It seems to be the case that Kate and William are a little bit at odds on where he should go, whether he should go to boarding school or to a co-ed school.”
To add, Katie Nicholl explained: “They’re going to have to make a decision quite soon about which school Prince George will go to because Lambrook, which is the school all three children are at, in Barkshire, is a pre-prep.
“Over here in the UK, there is a natural progression that you go at 13 to your next school and in the case of William and Harry, that was Eton.”
Recognising that George could follow in the footsteps of his father and uncle, she added: “We know Harry didn’t have a particularly happy time there but William did. He loved Eton and he thrived at Eton and went on, of course, to St Andrew’s and did very well there.”
As well as his father, she also shared that George could also follow his mother by attending Marlborough – which is a public school in Wiltshire for pupils aged between 13 and 18.
Ms Nicholl continued: “Catherine was a pupil at Marlborough, she’s always loved that idea of a co-ed school. And in fact, before the children were at Lambrook, they were at Thomas’s in Battersea, and that was co-ed.
“Kate’s own experience was going to school with her brother James and her sister Pippa. There’s always the option that they could go to Marlborough.”
Much like George, his siblings Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, are also current pupils at Lambrook School.
