The Prince and Princess of Wales are believed to have made a decision regarding Prince George's schooling, indicating that he will attend Eton College, the same institution where Prince William studied, beginning next year. However, there is still uncertainty surrounding the choices for their middle child, Princess Charlotte, and her younger brother, Prince Louis, as they currently attend Lambrook School but will be transitioning soon. George is soon to turn 12, marking his final year at Lambrook, which accommodates students between the ages of three and 13.
Despite the lack of an official announcement from the couple about their plans for George or the other children, royal observers have speculated about possible schools for both Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Two frontrunners include Marlborough College, a co-educational school in Wiltshire that was attended by Kate, and St Mary's in Ascot, which is known for being an independent day and boarding school for girls. St Mary's has a selective admissions process and is attended by a limited number of students each year, with notable alumni such as Lady Louise Windsor and members of Princess Margaret's family.
Marlborough College, which boasts a long list of prestigious alumni including Kate's siblings, has extensive sporting facilities and a diverse student body from both the UK and abroad. It has been recognized as one of the leading private schools in the world and charges significant fees for enrollment, with boarding costs for the upcoming academic year reaching nearly £51,000.

Why not something different, like a state school? Surely they could afford it and George would still receive a great education.

It's always about the history and prestige of these educational establishments but never about the person's wellbeing.

Eton and Marlborough are prestigious schools, providing exceptional education. George and Charlotte are very lucky!

Speculation, speculation, speculation! Until they actually announce something, it's all just noise.

These schools are preparing the children for a world for the few and not the many. I wish the schools were different.
