‘Devastated’ Kate Middleton left ‘sad and anxious’ over Prince George school decision!

George has a big couple of years ahead

Kate Middleton is said to be “devastated” over alleged plans for her son Prince George to attend a prestigious boarding school, a move she reportedly fears will create emotional distance and increase the risks he faces as a future king.

Next year, when he turns 13, George will leave Lambrook school in Berkshire. According to reports, George could follow in his father, Prince William’s footsteps and attend Eton College, a boys’ boarding school in Windsor.

A source has reportedly told RadarOnline that Kate, 43, feels “really sad and anxious” about losing precious time with George, 12, during his formative years.

Kate Middleton ‘devastated’ over Prince George school decision

“Kate is devastated that Prince George will be sent to an elite private school,” a royal courtier reportedly claimed. “She wants to spend more time with him.”

However, Prince William, 43, is reportedly taking a more traditional stance.

Having attended Eton College himself, insiders apparently claim that the Prince of Wales sees boarding school as a “rite of passage”. He is likely to support George enrolling at Eton as early as September 2026, the source suggested.

George, who celebrated his 12th birthday on July 22, has faced growing speculation about where he’ll continue his education next year.

As she recovers from cancer, the source claimed that Kate may want to be with her family “as much as she can”. But if George moves away from the family’s Windsor home for boarding school, she may “not get that chance”.

She also reportedly has concerns about George’s privacy and safety.

“In this day and age of social media, she is concerned about George’s privacy,” the insider continued.

‘It could give her a lot of anxiety’

Kensington Palace hasn’t yet confirmed a decision on George’s schooling future. However, the possibility of boarding school looms not just for George, but for William and Kate’s younger children, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, too.

The insider added: “If she’s not there to encourage and care for her children, it could give her a lot of anxiety.”

Last month, a report claimed that William and Kate had reached an agreement regarding George’s next school.

After months of speculation, sources told the Mail on Sunday that “all roads lead to Eton”.

Reports claimed that William and Kate reached an agreement after visiting top schools, including Eton and Kate’s alma mater, Marlborough College.

Although Marlborough would have allowed Charlotte to join her brother later on, Eton’s proximity to Windsor and its royal history apparently swayed the decision.

Other schools reportedly considered include Highgate School, which Kate visited earlier this year.

George currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire with his siblings.

Royal Insider has contacted reps for Kensington Palace for comment.
