Royal couple weigh crucial decision with future reign and past family struggles in mind
Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are reportedly at odds over an important decision that could shape both their son's future and the image of the modern monarchy: where Prince George will attend secondary school.
The royal couple—known for their hands-on, protective parenting style—are said to be deeply invested in finding the right environment for their eldest child, who is also the future King. With Prince George set to begin secondary school next autumn, the pressure surrounding the choice is growing.
According to royal correspondent Helena Chard, speculation has intensified to the point where bookmakers have begun taking bets on which school the young royal will attend. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Chard revealed that William and Kate have reportedly “argued and debated the decision for years.”
The tension stems from past family experiences. King Charles was famously unhappy at Gordonstoun, Prince Harry found Eton unsuitable, and even Catherine herself was bullied during her school years. These experiences have made the royal couple particularly cautious.
“Catherine is determined to secure the perfect fit for Prince George,” Chard said. “And let’s face it, the world is their oyster — they have the pick of all schools.”
With the future monarch’s education at stake, the couple’s decision carries both personal and symbolic weight as they shape the next generation of royal leadership.
