The royal drama has a new chapter, and the last chapter isn\u2019t even done yet. New reports indicate the Prince and Princess of Wales aren\u2019t seeing eye to eye on something new, right as Prince William has retained new legal representation<\/a>. This all comes as Kate Middleton is newly recovered from cancer<\/a> and King Charles<\/a> is still battling cancer, with Prince William stepping up in his duties to help his father, who, despite his illness, some reports indicate, doesn\u2019t want to hand over the throne to his son. See, drama.<\/p>\n

One thing does seem to be true. Prince William\u00a0recently switched lawyers, from Harbottle & Lewis and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell\u2014the same lawyers his father used\u2014to Mishcon de Reya, which represented\u00a0Princess Diana<\/a>\u00a0in her\u00a0divorce from Charles<\/a>. Even if there\u2019s nothing to be read into the new lawyers, it is at the very least a pointed statement that he\u2019s not using his father\u2019s lawyers anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201dWilliam wanted to strike out on his own,\u201d a source told the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0about the change. \u201cHe did not want to continue using his father\u2019s lawyers. It\u2019s as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reportedly wants the same for his son, George, which is why there\u2019s been a battle brewing with his wife, Kate Middleton, over where he will attend school next. \u201cThere has been much speculation surrounding Prince George\u2019s next school,\u201d British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital<\/a>. \u201cThe discussions have been circulating for years, with the Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly arguing and debating the decision for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is, in many ways, on part for the course. \u201cMost parents find choosing a good secondary school for their children daunting, even more so for the Prince and Princess of Wales, who want the best for Prince George,\u201d she added. The family reportedly has toured Kate\u2019s old school, Marlborough College, in Wiltshire and Eton College, the former school of Prince William and Prince Harry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a long line of unhappy schooling within the family,\u201d Chard explained to the outlet. \u201cKing Charles was very unhappy at Gordonstoun. Eton wasn\u2019t suitable for Prince Harry. Even Princess Catherine was bullied at a secondary school. Therefore, she is committed to securing the perfect fit for Prince George. And let\u2019s face it, the world is their oyster \u2014 they have the pick of all schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, however, chances are George will end up at Eton, like his dad. Tradition is tradition, and if the royal family loves something, it\u2019s that. No matter how much Kate Middleton wants to fight against it. \u201cPrincess Catherine\u00a0has allegedly made it clear that she would rather Prince George attend an unstuffy co-ed school,\u201d\u00a0Chard claimed. But even though Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital Kate Middleton wants to keep her son from being bullied, security and William\u2019s history at Eton might end up winning out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchool days for Kate at times were not the happiest as she experienced bullying, so she leaned more towards a less conventional education for George than William,\u201d Turner claims.\u00a0\u201cWilliam, on the other hand, wanted to keep his traditional education by sending George to Eton College, which he enjoyed, and let him keep in close contact with Harry. Kate favors a more relaxed education for George rather than the structured life at Eton, which, although it has many opportunities, is steeped in tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho will win? I suspect George will go to Eton,\u201d said Turner.<\/p>\n

Another expert, Hilary Fordwich, told the outlet that, \u201cIt\u2019s a balancing challenge between royal traditions and their desire to modernize the monarchy, which Prince William and Princess Catherine are most carefully navigating. Their differing views are\u2026 rather healthy as it demonstrates how much thought is going into the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether that changes anything or not remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
