In a surprising twist, rumors are swirling in royal circles of an unprecedented departure from one of the monarchy’s most revered educational traditions.
The typically reserved Prince William and Duchess Kate are reportedly considering a bold decision that could change the future of raising their children, especially Prince George, who is second in line to the throne.
If true, the move could reflect not only their modern approach to parenting but also a significant shift in how they view their children’s emotional and mental well-being in an increasingly public world.
While the royal family is known for its long-standing traditions, it seems that Prince William and Kate Middleton could be ready to break one in favor of “protecting” their children.
Although the royal family has a long history, it seems that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be willing to break one to “protect” their children.
William and Kate followed this custom, as did King Charles and his late father, Prince Philip.
“As the children’s personalities develop, they will determine whether they break tradition or not,” the royal expert said.
Ingrid Seward, royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, previously told Spanish newspaper Quien that they might choose not to send Prince George and their other two children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to boarding school.
Perhaps they wanted their eldest son to live at home while he went to school, unlike his parents who were both sent away when William was only eight and enrolled at Ludgrove School.
Seward clarified: “It won’t be that shocking if they do things their way, because we’re used to seeing royals break with tradition these days.
“I believe William and Kate will believe that if the children are happy at school there is no reason to make changes.
“They will carefully consider their options because they are modern parents.
“I think they will wait as the children’s personalities develop and consider whether they would be happy living away from home.”
She argues that traumatic public experiences from early childhood may have influenced William’s focus on his children’s mental health more than anything else.
According to an expert, George’s position as second in line to the throne may actually make him safer at boarding school, although the couple may have preferred to keep their children in the nest.
However, if I were Kate, I would feel more at ease if George, the heir apparent, was holed up in boarding school, she said.
“He will have more freedom there and will be very protected from outside danger.”
Prince George was seen with his parents in June 2023 at Eton College, where his father was a student. According to reports, he passed the first round of entrance exams required to secure a seat.
The three royal children currently attend Berkshire’s Lambrook School, a co-educational prep school with over 600 students.
In the ever-evolving world of the British monarchy, even such entrenched traditions as the boarding school are now being reassessed. As modern, practical parents, Prince William and Kate seem willing to prioritize their children’s happiness and well-being over strict adherence to royal convention. Their focus on supporting each child’s unique personality, mental health, and safety reveals a thoughtful, individualized approach to parenting – a departure from past generations who might have followed tradition without question.
As Prince George continues on his path as heir-to-be, his parents’ decisions inevitably reflect the balance they are trying to maintain between his royal role and nurturing his individuality.
Whether they end up sending him to boarding school or not, it’s clear that William and Kate’s top priority is to provide their children with a stable and supportive environment that allows them to grow up confident in and out of the royal spotlight .
