Their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are growing up. As the eldest son, George's future is important and discussions have already begun about his education. Although he is only 10 years old, the decision about which school he will attend is urgent. Reports suggest that both Prince William and Princess Catherine have different views on George's education.

The choice is important to Catherine, whose childhood experiences have influenced her views. Last October, young George was seen visiting Eton College, where his father and uncle studied. The prestigious school costs around £46,000 a year. Although George did not start school until he was 13, he was required to enroll at 10.

Catherine Middleton had a comfortable childhood thanks to her successful parents. At first, her life seemed perfect, but everything changed when she attended Downe House, an all-girls boarding school. The experience, which came with a hefty fee of around £28,000, became a nightmare for her.

Because she only attended school during the day and did not stay at a boarding school, she struggled to connect with her classmates and was bullied. A former classmate described Catherine as thin, pale and lacking in self-confidence. The competitive environment, where many girls suffered from eating disorders, made her even more miserable.

Catherine stood out among her classmates, who teased her about her height and appearance. Starting two years later than everyone else made things even more difficult. Although she excelled at hockey, the school’s emphasis on lacrosse, a sport she had never played, left her frustrated.

She eventually confided in her parents about the bullying she faced. This scene highlights how William and Catherine’s choice of education for their children reflects their values. They are very dedicated parents and would be dismayed if they sent their children to boarding school. Many people would praise them for choosing a school close to home. While both William and Catherine enjoyed boarding school, the issue was what they wanted for their children.
