Kate Middleton’s Kids Start New Chapter at Lambrook School: A Bully-Free Zone

As the new school year approaches, excitement buzzes around Lambrook School, where Prince George, , and are set to begin their first term.

The family's recent move from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor has brought a whirlwind of changes, but one thing is certain— is likely relieved about the school's strict anti-bullying policy.

Starting September 8, the three royal siblings will attend Lambrook, marking a significant milestone as it's the first time they'll all be in the same educational institution.

This prestigious school has garnered considerable media attention, primarily due to its high-profile students.

Until now, George and Charlotte were enrolled at Thomas Battersea, while little Louis was finishing up at Wilcox Nursery.

However, not everyone is thrilled about the Cambridge kids joining the ranks at Lambrook.

Reports suggest some parents at the Berkshire Preparatory School are expressing concerns over increased security measures that might come with the royal presence.

One frustrated parent voiced their worries to the Sunday Mirror, stating that the unique atmosphere of the school might change drastically due to the heightened security.

Despite these reservations, Lambrook has made it clear that bullying will not be tolerated.

With an annual fee of £21,000, the school enforces a robust anti-bullying policy, complete with serious repercussions for those who violate the rules.

Detentions and potential exclusions are on the table for students who engage in any form of mistreatment, a stance that surely resonates with Kate.

The Duchess of Cambridge knows all too well the impact of bullying from her own school days.

During her time at Downhouse, an all-girls boarding school in Berkshire, she faced her share of challenges.

Standing out for her height and slender frame, Kate was often teased, which made her experience there quite miserable, according to royal correspondent Katie Nicol.

Nicol described Downhouse as a “cliquey” environment filled with high achievers, where pressure to conform was intense.

Many girls struggled with eating disorders, and the competition to be the best was fierce.

Feeling out of place, Kate left Downhouse after just two terms, seeking a more supportive atmosphere at Marlborough College.

At Marlborough, she found her footing and immersed herself in the school's vibrant sports culture.

Over time, she transformed her initial homesickness into a passion for athletics, eventually graduating in 2000.
