Kate Middleton and Prince William make huge decision that will ‘shake up’ the royal family

Prince William and Kate Middleton have a big decision to make for their son Prince George which could have a major impact on the royal family.

Prince George, 11, and his two siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, currently attend Lambrook School in Windsor. As Lambrook only educates children until the age of 13, the Prince and Princess of Wales will soon have to choose where their son will further his studies.

Kate and William could keep with royal traditions, or decide to “shake things up.” The pair both attended boarding schools, with William at the prestigious Eton College alongside his brother Prince Harry, while Kate went to Marlborough College.

Both Eton College and Marlborough College come with a hefty price tag, leaving royal experts conflicted about which school William and Kate will choose for their son. Royal author Katie Nicholls believes either will be a good choice.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, she explained how both Kate and William appreciate tradition and had positive experiences at boarding schools themselves, making it probable for George to follow suit. The main question, according to Nicholls, is whether they would choose a single-sex environment like Eton or a co-educational institution.

On the other hand, royal expert Richard Palmer suggested the Prince and Princess of Wales could “shake things up” by sending George to a state school, like most children his age. “Personally, I think it’s a great shame that our future head of State doesn’t actually go to a state school. And I think it would be fantastic if that were to happen,” he said
