Kate Middleton is “heartbroken” after an “argument” with Prince William over where Prince George should go to secondary school, it has been claimed.
Both William, 41, and his brother Prince Harry, 39, attended Eton College – which was a break from the older generation’s tradition of attending the Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun. While William wants George to go to Eton when he reaches the right age, Kate, 41, isn’t happy about the move.
A royal insider told Touch Weekly that the princess is set against sending George to the prestigious boys’ boarding school. The main reason is that Kate was “horribly bullied at her first boarding school”, the insider claimed. She said the princess “can’t bear the thought of George suffering through that.”
Kate attended a girls boarding school in Berkshire called Downe House, which she “hated” and ended up leaving mid-term. She moved to Marlborough College, a co-ed boarding school in Wiltshire, where she stayed for the rest of her schooling. That’s where she wants George to attend. The insider noted: “Kate thinks sending George to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy.”
