The Princess of Wales is said to be "heartbroken" over the prospect of sending Prince George to Eton College at the age of 13, following in the footsteps of his father William and uncle Prince Harry.
According to a royal insider from In Touch Weekly, Kate and William had disagreements about this for years, but William's desire for George to attend Eton College ultimately prevailed. The source stated, "But she’s still heartbroken.
Kate's concerns stem from her own experiences of being bullied during her early boarding school days, and she wishes to shield Prince George from similar traumatic situations.
Despite Kate's reservations, William and Kate have reportedly toured Eton College with the intention of sending 10-year-old Prince George there when he reaches the age of 13. The decision reflects a departure from the traditional royal education path, as William and Harry were initially sent to Eton College by their parents, deviating from the customary attendance at Gordonstoun in Scotland for royal children.
The conflicting perspectives within the royal family regarding Prince George's education highlight the delicate balance between tradition and modernization.
