Time and time again, Kate Middleton has shown that she is no pushover. She was not fully embraced by Queen Camilla because she came from a middle-class family, but she ignored the ugly chatter and established herself as an irreplaceable member of the Royal Family.
Middleton went head-to-head with Meghan Markle‘s brand of beauty, brains, and star power, and the world knows how this story ended.
It now seems that the future Queen of England is taking on her biggest challenge yet: stampeding on a century-old tradition that Prince William and King Charles III are clinging to for the sake of the monarchy.
Sources have claimed that Catherine, Princess of Wales, was forced to cave in to Prince William’s request to send Prince George to an all-boys boarding school.
Prince George was spotted with Prince William and Kate Middleton at Eton College. Reports are claiming that Prince George was stressed as he prepared for the entry test.
Kate Middleton has been forced to skip the upcoming Earthshot Prize ceremony in Singapore to be present for her son. However, it seems that Middleton has made the decision that Prince George will not be going to Eton after all.
The Daily Mail‘s columnist Richard Eden recently reported that Princess Kate was spotted at her old school, Marlborough College.
A source told Eden: “Catherine was here the other day. It’s been the talk of the school.” If Kate Middleton gets her way, she will be breaking a 1095-year-old royal tradition to give Prince George a different type of education.
All British monarchs before Prince George were either educated at home or went to boarding school. The Firm, King Charles, and Prince William believe it is the best option to prepare the heir to be a true statesman.
According to royal commentator Daniela Elser‘s column via news.com.au, Prince William and Kate Middleton are doing a great service to their son and the future of the monarchy.
She explained why: “If George is signed on to be a member of the class of 2031 he will be the first sovereign in the 956 years since the Normans showed the Saxons what for to be educated alongside not only boys but girls and maybe even non-binary teens. It would be a small step for a 13-year-old with an incipient fight on his hands with acne but a major step for the monarchy.”
She went on to reveal that Prince George will be exposed to a diverse culture and added: “My point is, if William and Kate chose to not go down the centuries-old, tediously trodden, tired path chosen by the wealthy and the titled parents for their sons, and don’t send George to Eton, instead choosing somewhere with a hint more diversity, they will be doing the kid a huge service.”
She went on to break down the school’s inclusivity by the numbers: “Marlborough’s students come from “42 countries, representing 36 nationalities, with 15 languages spoken at home,” according to the school, and right now their website is bigging up the school’s newly installed prefects with a responsibility for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.”
This is how it would befit the future young King and the monarchy he will inherit one day: “The boy will one day have to serve as a unifying figure for, by then, probably more than 100 million Britons who will come from an incredibly varied range of ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. How can he even remotely be adequately prepared for such a momentous task if he goes to a school where ‘diversity’ equates to boasting about some boys whose families ski in Italy?”
Middleton has a lot of character.
