In a display of unity and compromise, Prince William and Princess Kate have reportedly resolved their differences over the educational future of their three children.
The royal couple, often speculated to be at odds over their preferred institutions for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, has finally reached a decision that bridges their varying choices.
The primary point of contention lay in the selection of a school for Prince George, aged 10, who is approaching the crucial decision of higher education.
Prince William, emphasising the significance of upholding royal traditions, advocated for the iconic Eton College, an all-boys boarding school with a long history of educating British nobility. On the other hand, Princess Kate proposed her alma mater, Marlborough College, asserting that it would be the ideal choice for their children's academic journey.
According to sources close to the royal family, after years of deliberation and discussions involving Prince William, Princess Kate, and King Charles III, a decision has been reached. The couple has chosen to embrace Princess Kate's suggestion, and both Prince George and Princess Charlotte are slated to attend Marlborough College.
"Following extensive debates and consultations, the family has made a collective decision. Prince George and Princess Charlotte will embark on their boarding school journey together at Marlborough," shared an insider with Life & Style.
"Despite initial expectations that Prince George would follow in his father's footsteps at Eton, Princess Kate had the final say, ensuring that both siblings will be students at Marlborough. This way, George and Charlotte will share a few years of overlapping education at the same school."
The source further elaborated on Princess Kate's perspective, stating, "Kate holds fond memories of her time at Marlborough and firmly believes it is a better fit for her children. The decision reflects a harmonious compromise between tradition and personal experience, showcasing the couple's commitment to providing the best educational environment for their offspring."
