After many disagreements, Kate Middleton finally managed to convince Prince William. The Princess of Wales did not want her son George, who will turn 12 in July, to join the benches.Eton Collegewhere his father had studied before him. But it’s decided: from the next school year, Kate Middleton’s eldest son will attend the same school as his mother, according to the Daily Mail…

Kate Middleton: why she doesn’t want her son to go to the same college as William

Between 1996 and 2000, Pippa Middleton’s sister studied at Marlborough Collegein the Wiltshire, southwest of England. And it is in this same school that she plans to enroll her son, Prince George, when he turns 13. However, many expected to see William’s son follow in his footsteps.

The Prince of Wales indeed studied at Eton Collegelocated very close to Windsor Castle, 40 kilometers from London. But according to France SundayKate Middleton did not want to send her son to a “institution as staid, posh and rigid“, which would work”against all their efforts to modernize the British monarchy“.

Kate Middleton: the (very) high cost of Prince George’s education

It must be said that the establishment was founded in the 15th century and is reserved for boys, while the school where the Princess of Wales studied is mixed and allows real tranquility since it is located in the English countryside. This will therefore be the first time that an heir to the throne will attend a mixed college. But this education comes at a cost: to study at the boarding school, you have to pay 59,000 pounds sterling per year, or almost 70,000 euros!

However, Kate Middleton also intends to register her youngest children, Princess Charlotte, 9 years old, and Prince Louis, 6 years old, to Marlborough Collegewhen they are old enough to study there. Remember that Prince William’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, also completed part of her schooling there.
