Kate Middleton And Prince William Have Been ‘Talking About Nothing Else’ But George’s Schooling
A source further noted that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deliberating on George’s future school in recent weeks.
The insider shared, “Parents have been talking about nothing else and discussions have really ramped up in recent weeks but security is obviously a massive consideration. Prince George will have to be housed in an ‘in house’ – these are the houses that are around the main quad of the school.”
They added, “The ‘out houses’ are scattered down the Bath Road, and these present more of a security risk as they are just big houses on their own and involve a lot more walking around, which is the downside of Marlborough.”

Prince William And Kate Middleton Plan Special Family Surprises In 2025 After Difficult Year
Following a challenging year, royal expert Ingrid Seward predicts William and Kate will plan several special surprises for their children in 2025.
“Kate will be wanting to spoil them a bit because it’s very frightening for children when their parents are that ill, so I think they will be up for a few treats this year,” Seward explained during a chat with Hello Magazine.
She suggested that the Prince and Princess of Wales “might take the children skiing during the Easter holidays and will probably be planning a big summer holiday, because as far as we know they didn’t go anywhere last year.”
Seward, whose book “Royal Children” explores the lives of young royals over the years, also noted the couple’s careful approach to raising their children in the spotlight.
“Like many famous parents, they are cautious about exposing their children to too much scrutiny in this digital age. They know they must produce the children at certain times, but I think they very much keep them under wraps the rest of the time.”
