Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are on the brink of a major transition in their lives as decisions regarding their education come into focus.
The royal siblings, currently enrolled at Lambrook School near Windsor, may soon find themselves heading in different directions as George approaches his teenage years.
George’s Move to Secondary School
At 11 years old, George is expected to leave Lambrook in the near future. While Prince William and Princess Kate have not publicly confirmed where he will continue his education, speculation is already swirling.
Eton College, where William was educated, has been mentioned as a possibility. However, it is also believed that the couple is considering Marlborough College in Wiltshire, a choice that would be significant for Kate.
The Appeal of Marlborough College
Marlborough College holds a special place in Kate’s heart, as it is where she attended school. The prestigious co-educational boarding school, which charges £50,985 annually, could provide an opportunity for all three siblings to be at the same school in the future.
The school is renowned for its excellent sports programs and cutting-edge facilities, areas where both Kate and her sister Pippa excelled during their time there.
Family-Centered Values
The close bond between George, Charlotte, and Louis may influence their parents’ decision. Marlborough College promotes a “family atmosphere” across its 16 boarding houses, which could make the transition smoother for the young royals.
The school also encourages regular parental visits and allows students to return home every third weekend, aligning with William and Kate’s hands-on approach to parenting.
Mixed Reviews from Alumni
While Marlborough College has received positive feedback, not all alumni have had ideal experiences. James Middleton, Kate’s brother, described the school as “fantastic” but felt it placed too much emphasis on academic and athletic success. He remarked, “It’s all about the best grades, the top of the class, the top teams. My sisters did very well, but it wasn’t like that for me.”
While the official announcement about George’s next school has yet to be made, the couple’s focus on family values and education suggests that the decision will reflect their priorities.
