In a departure from the anticipated trajectory of Prince George following in William's footsteps, Kate asserted her influence on the decision-making process. The outcome? A unique resolution - George and his sister Charlotte will embark on the boarding school journey together, a departure from the traditional solo experience.
Furthermore, the royal family's expectations of George attending Eton were overruled. Instead, the decision was made for George and Charlotte to attend Marlborough, a deviation that adds a layer of unpredictability to the narrative.
Explaining the choice, the insider shared that this decision allows for an overlapping period for George and Charlotte at the same school. Notably, Marlborough, with its personal significance to Kate, is deemed a better fit for her children. The source disclosed that Kate's choice is rooted in her own positive experiences at Marlborough, where she sought refuge after facing adversity at a previous school.
Significantly, despite the deviation from the expected path, Prince William is content to let Kate 'take the lead' in making decisions. Currently attending Lambrook prep school in Berkshire with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, Prince George's educational journey takes an unexpected turn under the careful consideration of his parents.
