Catherine’s Heartbreak: The Princess of Wales Faces Tough Decision on Prince George’s Education
In a move that has stirred quite the conversation, Catherine, Princess of Wales, is reportedly grappling with the decision to send her eldest son, Prince George, to one of the UK's most elite boarding schools.
According to an insider, this choice echoes Prince William's own educational path, as he and his brother, Prince Harry, both attended Eton College.
The royal couple was recently spotted at the school, leading many to speculate about George's future there.
Last June, William and Kate took their young heir to Eton's headquarters, igniting discussions about whether he would follow in his father's footsteps.
While the idea of George studying at such a prestigious institution is steeped in royal tradition, it hasn't come without its emotional challenges for Kate.
Reports suggest she has long dreaded the day her son would pack his bags and leave home for boarding school.
Despite her reservations, Kate has come to terms with the reality of royal life.
An insider revealed that she feels torn between her desire to modernize the monarchy and the expectations that come with their titles.
For her, sending George to a “stuffy” boarding school seems at odds with her vision of a more relatable royal family.
Yet, the weight of tradition has proven hard to shake off.
The source highlights that there have been numerous discussions between William and Kate regarding this pivotal decision.
While Kate has expressed her concerns, particularly stemming from her own negative experiences with bullying at boarding school, William remains steadfast in his belief that Eton is the right choice for their son.
He attended the Berkshire school himself in 1995, where he spent weekdays boarding and weekends visiting his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, at Windsor Castle.
Ultimately, it appears that Kate has reluctantly agreed to let George attend Eton, recognizing his desire to emulate his father.
However, the emotional toll of this decision is palpable.
