Prince William and Kate Middleton face a difficult decision about sending ‘shy’ Prince George to boarding school and won’t make a decision until their children’s personalities develop further, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke, 38, and the Duchess of Cambridge, 38, have been studying at home, Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, at their home. Norfolk at Anmer Hall during the coronavirus pandemic.
But Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty magazine, has revealed how Prince William and Kate are “carefully” weighing decisions about the future of their children’s education.
She said to Ok! Magazine that the duo are ‘modern parents’, adding:’ I think they will wait to see how children’s personalities develop and take into account whether they would be happy to live away from home or not. Having experienced terrible trauma in his own childhood, William is highly attuned to his children’s mental health. ”
Prince William, 38, and Kate Middleton, 38, can take into account Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte’s different personalities, 5, when considering sending them to boarding school, Ingrid Seward said Ok. magazine
He noted that parents could be particularly aware of children’s different personalities.
While Princess Charlotte “seems very confident” and “would fit the shipping environment,” Ingrid commented that Prince George is “a shy boy,” and compared him to his grandfather, Prince Charles, 71.
But Ingrid also revealed that Kate can ‘feel more secure’ if Prince George goes to boarding school where she can be ‘hidden’ and ‘have more freedom’.
The expert said that schooling may allow the heir to the throne to be “highly protected from external dangers.”
The expert said Prince William would be particularly aware of his children’s mental health, having suffered “terrible trauma” during his own childhood (pictured, arriving for his first day at Ludgrove Prep school, where he boarded, in 1990)
The royal expert went on to say that the public has become “ accustomed ” to royalty breaking with tradition, so it wouldn’t be much of a shock if the duke and duchess decided to keep their children in day school.
Prince William was just eight years old when he became a full-time guest at the Ludgrove School in Berkshire, where he seemed to be thriving.
Kate also attended boarding schools, including Downe House, a boarding school for girls in Berkshire, which she left after two terms at Marlborough College.
But while Prince George’s parents thrived at school, Prince Charles attended Cheam School in Hampshire and then Gordonstoun in Scotland, and later called the experience “disastrous.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been homeschooling their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, two, during the coronavirus pandemic.
Prince George is currently a student at Thomas’s Battersea, a £ 6,158 cohort per term in South West London, where he can stay for another seven years. Both Marlborough and Eton £ 13,556-a-term accept full-time pensioners from the age of 13.
Friends previously said the couple is deliberating a ‘less traditional’ educational path for the future king than previous heirs.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte is also attending Thomas’s Battersea, but although Thomas’s Battersea has resumed classes for the five-year-old reception group for the five-year-old Princess Charlotte, she is unlikely to attend without her older brother, according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl.
Six-year-old Prince George’s Year 2 class remains closed in the gradual reopening of the elementary school.

Speaking to 9Honey, Katie said: ‘If you are based at Anmer Hall, it would be a major logistical challenge to send Charlotte back and keep George and Louis at home.
“ It would mean going back to London to send a child back to school and possibly, logistically with everything else they are juggling in terms of official duties, it could be too challenging and that may be why they decided not to. do it.’
However, Katie added that she believes the children could resume their studies at school in the near future.
“I think it’s likely that if George’s year comes back, even if it’s only for a short time before the end of the period, then I think they probably want him and Charlotte to come back,” she explained, noting that both the boys will move. to a New Years group in September.

“At the very least, it will be an opportunity to say hi and say goodbye to your friends,” he added.
Thomas concludes his summer term on Friday, July 3, and his summer extension will end on July 17. The Michaelmas period begins on September 7.
Katie said she doesn’t think Prince William, 37, and Kate, 38, have a “big problem” getting their kids back to school, as doing so would be “too damaging” in the midst of the pandemic.
He said that if they do return, imagine that it will remain “fairly discreet” and will be done “quietly and under the radar.”
