“Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy. Plus, she’ll miss George desperately.
“She and William argued about it for years, but he has finally won.”
And now a royal expert suggested Kate is right to believe that a move to a boarding school like Eton would go against the family’s ethics.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: “They have been the model of a modern monarchy so far and I would like to see them continue as a tight family unit, with the children coming home each day after school.”
The expert added a “possible compromise” could be weekly boarding or “an ad hoc system that some schools now adopt.”
“But perhaps they believe there are real benefits from children learning to be independent from a young age, ” she said.
She also urged the couple to consider the idea that they could become King and Queen whilst their children are still of school age and “their jobs will become even more full-time than at present.”
Bond stated: “Perhaps it is the practical solution. For me, though, it is unthinkable to have children and then send them away to be looked after by someone else.”
But there is another school the young prince could enrol to.
Princess Kate recently visited one of the schools she previously attended, sparking rumours of sending George there instead of Eton College.
The Princess of Wales attended Marlborough College in the 1990s and just before she went to St Andrews University, where she locked eyes with husband Prince William.
Kate reportedly enjoyed her time at the £46,995-per-year boarding college in Wiltshire, having been bullied previously at Downe House, according to claims.
But now the royal secretly went back to her beloved co-educational Marlborough and parents have been speculating about the princess’s next move.
