Prince William forced to reconsider key decision for Prince George

Prince William and Princess Kate may have been considering to break a major royal tradition for their eldest son Prince George.

Amid the ongoing speculation, it was Eton College and Marlborough College were the frontrunners for the future monarch. However, the tables were turned when the Prince and Princess of Wales were reportedly spotted at the co-educational Oundle in Northamptonshire.

According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, this is major reason why William and Kate would be considering foregoing Eton for Oundle as it would “fit the ball”.

“My guess is Oundle. They have already been there to have a look round. Maybe that’s going to be the school for Charlotte too,” he said. “They could decide to send all three of them to the same school, and a mixed private school would fit the bill.”

Having all three children together could be a relief for William and Kate, since all three children attended Lambrook together.

However, Richard Kay argued that the new choice of school could create more problems for George. He noted that not only would George be the first male heir to the British throne to attend a co-educational secondary school, but he may get into more “awkward” situations as compared to Eton.

“An all-boys school avoids those awkward opportunities for someone to get a photograph of him perhaps having his first snog with a girl and the explosion of interest that would create.”

Moreover, Oundle does not have prior experience of having a royal, which could be a little tricky.

Though, the final decision will be confirmed by Kensington Palace just ahead of school session.
