Recent reports suggested that quiet discussions between representatives from both sides have taken place, raising hopes of a possible reconciliation that could reopen the door to future UK education.

William and Kate’s Children Stay Close to Tradition

Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Catherine continue to educate their three children in Britain. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis all attend Lambrook School near their home at Adelaide Cottage in Berkshire.

Prince George, now 12, is expected to begin studying at Eton College this September — the prestigious institution that charges around $82,000 a year. Before that, he had visited two other schools in North London, including Highgate School.

Kensington Palace has not officially confirmed George’s enrollment, nor have they released any firm details about the future educational plans for Charlotte and Louis.

However, it’s been speculated that Princess Charlotte, 10, may follow in her mother’s footsteps and enroll at Marlborough College in Wiltshire — the same school where the Princess of Wales once studied before going on to St Andrews University, where she met William.

Could the Wales Children Skip University?

While university has long been the traditional path for royal heirs, Harrold suggests William and Kate might consider different options for their children — especially for George.

“I don’t think it would be [university] these days. We may find that George, Charlotte and Louis might not all go to university. They may go straight to somewhere like Sandhurst,” he said.

“In particular, George — it is seen as vital for future kings to have had some sort of military training, so you can guarantee that George, whether he likes it or not, will have to go through that military training.”

Harrold added, “Both William and Charles had military training. You’re the commanding chief of the Armed Forces, so you’ve got to know the profession. However, there might not be so much pressure when it comes to George.”
