Prince George, the 10-year-old eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is set to undergo a significant royal protocol change next year when he turns 11 on July 22.
This milestone marks the beginning of preparations for a strict rule that will come into effect once he reaches the age of 12.
Amid cancer battle, Kate Middleton and Prince William are reportedly fighting over a family issue that involves their son Prince George. As reported by InTouch Weekly, a palace insider said that Princess Kate is heartbroken after an argument with Prince William on the selection of a secondary school for their son.
Prince William wants to send his son to the school where he and his brother Prince Harry went which was Eton College. However, Princess of Wales is adamant that George should not attend an all-boys school.
In the report, a source mentioned that Kate was against it because she was “horribly bullied at her first boarding school” and she “can’t bear the thought of George suffering that.
As per the report, Kate earlier attended a girl’s boarding school in Berkshire called Downe House, however, she left it mid-term due to bullying. From there, she later enrolled in Marlborough College which was a co-educational boarding school.
While speaking to InTouch Weekly, a palace insider said that Kate thinks that “sending George to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy.”
Sources have also revealed that the issue of their son’s future education has led to long argument between William and Kate. However, it further stated that Prince William reportedly won the argument and Kate finally gave in.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, 42, received an outpouring of global sympathy after her video message on Friday revealed she was undergoing “preventative chemotherapy”.
Three months ago, Princess of Wales, Kate informed that she was diagnosed with cancer. She recently made her first public appearance in over six months as she attended Trooping the Colour ceremony on June 15. She attended a ceremonial celebration and military parade commemorating the reigning British monarch’s birthday, although King Charles III’s birthdate falls on November 14.
The Royal family is reportedly experiencing tension over Prince George’s future education, with sources suggesting that Kate Middleton is “heartbroken” following a disagreement with Prince William.
Kate don’t want her son, George to be bullied
The source revealed that Kate’s aversion stems from her own negative experiences at boarding school; she was “horribly bullied at her first boarding school.”
The Princess of Wales “can’t bear the thought of George suffering through that.”
Kate’s early education was at Downe House, a girls’ boarding school in Berkshire, which she “hated” so much that she left mid-term. She transferred to Marlborough College, a co-ed boarding school in Wiltshire, where she finished her schooling and seemingly found a better fit.
The insider remarked, “Kate thinks sending George to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernize the monarchy.”
The issue is said to have caused a row at Adelaide Cottage, with William and Kate reportedly “arguing” for hours over the decision, the source claimed. “Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it’s tradition,” the source said.
The source added that Kate, who is currently on hiatus from public duties while undergoing cancer treatment, was “finally giving in” to her husband’s wishes and he appears to have “won” the argument for now.
