‘Heartbroken’ Kate Middleton about to make major decision about Prince George’s next steps

It's believed Kate Middleton and Prince William disagree on which school should educate Prince George

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is faced with a difficult decision regarding her son, Prince George.

The 11-year-old Prince is the eldest child of Kate and Prince William.

His current enrolment at Lambrook School is set to end shortly, and the royal parents have to choose where to send the future King for his next bout of education.

According to reports, Kate and William are at odds over where their son should go.

As per the New York Post, royal sources have claimed that William is vying for George to attend Eton, a boarding school for boys which is renowned for teaching a number of British politicians, including David Cameron and Boris Johnson, whereas Kate is attempting to have George enrolled at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, a mixed-gender school.

Kate herself attended Marlborough College between 1996 and 2000, and this is thought to have emboldened her preference.

Both schools are incredibly prestigious and well-respected.

Though, Kate may change her mind about Marlborough, if a source that spoke to The Mirror is to be believed.

They said: "The 2024 version of Marlborough may be quite different from how Kate remembers it. It's become a little more jet-set. Lots of parents have villas in Ibiza, chalets in Verbier or a private jet, which isn't Kate's style. She prefers understated wealth."

It has been reported that George potentially attending Eton has left his mother 'heartbroken', as she believes the school is too 'stuffy' for her son.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl shared: "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. 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.”

She added: "Whatever happens, it’ll be a decision made by William and Kate with George’s best interests factored in."

Nicholl reflected upon George's experience at Lambrook during Kate's cancer diagnosis.

She shared: "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. The school gives them a great infrastructure and a great support network, and allows the children to live a regular childhood – a low-key, happy, albeit privileged childhood.”
