Princess Kate, the beloved wife of Prince William, has reportedly given in to her husband’s plans of sending their eldest son, Prince George, to boarding school in the coming years.

According to a royal insider, the couple was recently spotted visiting the prestigious Windsor headquarters, fueling speculations about George following in his father’s footsteps.

While Kate is said to be apprehensive about the idea, she has come to accept it as part of their son’s destiny.

The insider revealed that Kate initially disagreed with William’s decision, considering it a departure from their efforts to modernize the monarchy.

She believed that sending George to a traditional and elitist institution contradicted their vision.

Moreover, Kate expressed her deep concern about missing her son immensely.

The couple had engaged in years-long debates over this matter, but ultimately, William emerged victorious.

In 1995, William himself enrolled at the Berkshire School, where he boarded during the week but visited his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, at Windsor Castle on weekends.

The insider disclosed that Kate finally relented when she recognized George’s desire to emulate his father and attend the exclusive school, which costs £15,432 per term.

However, her heartbreak remains palpable, likely stemming from her own negative experiences with bullying during her own boarding school years.

It is worth noting that George still has a few more years before he commences his boarding school journey, as students typically start at Eton when they turn 13.

Nevertheless, Kate is rumored to have canceled a planned visit to Singapore in November to be present in the UK when George takes Eton’s rigorous 150-minute entrance exam, assessing both verbal and mental reasoning skills.

In 2022, the Prince and Princess of Wales made Windsor their primary residence, settling into Adelaide Cottage and enrolling all three of their children in the nearby Lamerick School.

The source suggested that George could potentially visit his family every weekend, similar to how William used to spend time with his grandparents when they resided in the castle during his student years.

With the school being just a short nine-minute drive from their cottage, George could still enjoy ample quality time with his parents and siblings.

However, the insider expressed concerns about the family potentially being torn apart by this decision.

There is also a lingering worry that William may insist on sending their other two children away to boarding school as well.
