Duchess Kate is reportedly “heartbroken” about the decisions she and Prince William will soon have to make about Prince George's future.
According to Millerthe Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, are discussing where to send their eldest son once his prep school period is over.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said Middleton wanted to send her 11-year-old son to a co-educational school in England so he could be with his siblings, but her husband's wishes were different.
“The Duchess' wish was for George to go to a co-ed school so he could be with his siblings, which she experienced at Marlborough with his younger sister Pippa and older brother James,” Nicholl said.
Middleton studied at Marlborough College in Wiltshire from 1996 to 2000.
“She had a very happy school life, but William has very fond memories of Eton School, which has a long history with aristocrats and royalty,'' Nicholl explained.
According to Nicholl, Prince William is determined that George will attend Eton School, a prestigious boys' boarding school, with his older brother Prince Harry.
George is said to be excited about attending his father's alma mater, but Middleton said she was “heartbroken” at the idea and thought the school was too “stifling”.
However, Nicholl said Prince George may not follow in his father's footsteps, as Prince William did not attend the boarding school his father Charles III attended in Scotland.
“There's always the possibility that traditions can change,” Nicol told the Mirror. “William and Harry did not end up going to Gordonstoun and following in their father's footsteps.” [in Scotland]And George may break the Eton mold and end up somewhere else. ”
He added: “Whatever happens, it will be a decision made by William and Duchess Kate in George's best interests.”
Prince George is currently a co-educational school for boys and girls aged 3 to 13 in rural Berkshire, where he is enrolled along with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. According to the BBC.
He and his brother are reportedly enjoying their time in Lambrook, saying it's providing them stability, especially while Middleton is undergoing cancer treatment recently.
“George was playing with friends on the football pitch when Kate was in hospital,” Nicholl told the Mirror.
“It was important to have a sense of normalcy to keep our family going during one of the most difficult times we have ever experienced.”
“Schools provide children with excellent infrastructure and a great support network, allowing them to have a normal childhood – a privileged but modest and happy childhood.”
Page Six has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
Middleton announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
In September she completed chemotherapy and announced that she was cancer-free.
