Royal children education: Prince William and Kate’s Royal kids will attend this prestigious school in a surprise break from tradition

The royal family is already planning for the upcoming school years for Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. The three will obviously attend a prestigious school, but there has reportedly been a startling departure from royal custom due to maternal and sibling relationships.Why are the Wales kids attending Marlborough instead of Eton?Several reports state that the three will eventually enrol at Marlborough College. However, don’t be fooled by the term “college.” The boarding school, which costs almost $74,000 annually, is for children between the ages of 13 and 18.

The fact that the children are attending their alma mater must excite their parents, Kate Middleton and her siblings Pippa and James Middleton, who both attended the esteemed university.

The young Wales children, however, will not be able to follow in the footsteps of Prince William and Prince Harry, who both went to Eton College. Princess Charlotte’s brothers could have been like their father and uncle, but she would not have been allowed to go to the all-boys school.

Perhaps the tradition of education in the royal family is really about breaking with tradition. When Prince William became the first senior royal to attend Eton, he was defying royal convention. Given that both his father and mother, Princess Diana’s brother, were college students, the choice also followed matriarchal ancestry.There had previously been heated debates about whether the children should go to Eton or Marlborough, but according to a source who spoke to The Mirror, King Charles III, Prince William, and Kate Middleton decided that Marlborough was the best option because the siblings could go together. BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond said it was a wise decision to keep the children together in school now (at Lambrook School) and going forward.

James Middleton has not commented on the decision to send his niece and nephews to Marlborough College, but he was critical of the school in the past. He felt educators focused too much on success, being the best, or the top.

FAQsWhy was Marlborough College chosen as the school for the royal children?
Marlborough College allows all three siblings to attend together, promoting unity and leveraging their mother Kate Middleton’s familial ties to the school.

How does this decision contradict royal tradition?
Unlike their father and uncle, who attended Eton College, the royal children will attend Marlborough College, which represents a shift away from male-dominated educational traditions.
