Kate Middleton and Prince William have had a very symbolic holiday season. Not only do they mark the first Christmas after the princess of Wales was diagnosed with cancer, with all that entails, but this 2025 will be full of changes in their family nucleus.
While they have always been very close to their children, it seems that the time has come for them to have their own experiences. Therefore, they have decided that starting this year, George, Charlotte, and Louis will gradually move to Marlborough College, the boarding school where their mother studied during her childhood and adolescence.

Contrary to expectations, the three of them will not attend Eaton, the boarding school where William and Harry studied. Instead, the Prince of Wales’ children will head to the school whose walls hold memories of Kate Middleton.
An election that has caused the British press to highlight the extremely high price they will have to pay: 60,000 euros per student per year. Something they are willing to pay for the exclusive facilities and security offered at this school.
George will be the first one who will have to attend the new boarding school after turning 12 years old
Marlborough College is divided into several buildings. On one hand, there are six houses for boys and another six for girls. However, there are also mixed houses, which add another four buildings to the complex.
In light of this, the son of the heir to the British throne, George, will be the first to travel to the luxurious school when he turns 12 this July. The school where the children are currently enrolled, Lambrook School, very close to Norfolk, only admits children up to that age.

And, according to the British press, the firstborn of the Prince of Wales would already have the chosen residence. The so-called ‘C1 House’, a building just for boys, is the chosen one for him to spend the next years of his life surrounded by 58 other students. A place that also holds a special meaning for the British royal family. The building was owned by Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII.
It will be in a few years when Charlotte attends the same boarding school, just like Louis will do later on. And it is in this very place where not only Kate Middleton attended, but also her siblings, Pippa and James. “Parents haven’t stopped talking about it, and discussions have really intensified in recent weeks, but safety is obviously an important consideration,” the Daily Mail reported on the hustle and bustle surrounding the school change these months.
