The atmosphere in the royal household seems tense as reports emerge of a disagreement between Princess Catherine and the Prince of Wales regarding the choice of secondary school for their son, Prince George.

Traditionally, royals have attended Eton College, but the Prince of Wales, 41, and the Duke of Sussex, 39, deviated from this norm by attending Gordonstown in Scotland.

Sources suggest that Princess Catherine, 41, is unhappy with the Prince of Wales’s preference for Prince George to follow in his footsteps and attend Eton College.

A royal insider disclosed to Touch Weekly that Catherine strongly opposes the idea of sending George to an exclusive all-boys boarding school, citing her own negative experiences at a girls’ boarding school as the driving force behind her stance.

Having faced bullying during her time at Down House in Berkshire, Catherine transferred to Marlborough College in Wiltshire, where she found a more suitable educational environment.

She believes that Prince George would thrive better in a co-ed boarding school like Marlborough College, which aligns more with their efforts to modernize the monarchy, according to the insider.

The rift between Princess Catherine and the Prince of Wales has escalated, with heated arguments reportedly becoming a common occurrence in their home.

Despite Catherine’s initial resistance to the traditional practice of sending royal children to boarding schools, it appears that she is reluctantly conceding to her husband’s wishes, signaling a potential victory for the Prince of Wales in this dispute.

Eton College, known for its prestigious reputation, comes with a hefty price tag of £53,398 for tuition fees, as per information available on the school’s website.

In light of recent challenges faced by the royal family, including Princess Catherine’s battle with cancer and subsequent hospitalization at the London Clinic, maintaining communication with her children has been crucial.

Utilizing technology to bridge the distance, Princess Catherine relied on FaceTime to stay connected with her children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – particularly during her medical treatment while the Prince of Wales cared for them at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate.

This modern approach to parenting highlights the importance of staying connected in times of adversity and separation within the royal family.
