Prince William, Kate Middleton face ‘real dilemma’ over son George’s future: report

It appears as though Prince William and Kate Middleton have opposing views on which school their eldest son, Prince George, should enroll in next.

The future king, 11, kickstarted the hunt for his next school earlier this year and has reportedly paid a visit to several renowned schools in and around London.

The Princess of Wales, 43, recently joined her eldest son on a tour of her old school, Marlborough College, in Wiltshire.

George also toured Eton College — William and his estranged brother Prince Harry’s former school that has long been a popular choice among royals, politicians and aristocrats.

“It’s the talk of the school, and of the parents,” a royal insider told the Daily Mail. The outlet adds that the decision has become a “real dilemma” for the Waleses.

The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.

While William is reportedly keen for George, who turns 12 in July, to follow in his footsteps by attending the $82,000-per-year college, it appears as though Princess Catherine has other ideas.

William, the heir to the throne, had a great experience at the school, however Harry, 40, detailed a completely different experience in his bombshell 2023 memoir, “Spare.”

The former working royal, who now lives in Montecito, Calif., with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, admitted he struggled with poor grades at the school.

His disappointing academic experience prompted him to skip university and head straight to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

The Duke of Sussex wrote that Eton was “heaven for brilliant boys, it could thus only be purgatory for one very unbrilliant boy.”

Eton College is located a short stroll away from William, 42, and Kate’s family home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Home Park.

Still, despite William’s rumored desire for George to become an Eton boy, the school’s provost has said that he will not be bending the rules for anyone — even the royals.

“I find myself receiving a torrent of letters and emails from friends of friends, hinting that they hope I can help them secure a place for their sons or grandsons,” Sir Nicholas Coleridge wrote in The Spectator.

“There is a rigorous admissions system here, run with integrity, and it is awkward when the prospective boy hasn’t caught the selector’s eye.”

The young royal has also additionally toured two other schools in North London, including Highgate School.

It’s reported that the school’s “world class” theater department attracted the Princess of Wales to the school, but its 30-mile distance from Windsor could be seen as problematic for the family.

The future king currently attends the same prep school as his younger siblings, sister Princess Charlotte, 9, and brother Prince Louis, 6.
