Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly about to make a brave choice regarding Princess Charlotte’s future

Reports suggest that the royal couple wants Charlotte to study at a different school from Prince George once they reach high school age.

The report highlights a deepening divide between Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, amidst recent attempts by Harry to mend their relationship with William.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided to enroll their daughter, Princess Charlotte, at a separate school from her brother, Prince George, when they reach high school age.

Insiders revealed to the publication that Princess Charlotte has shown a preference for attending Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England, where Kate Middleton was once a student before she met Prince William at St. Andrews University.

Marlborough College boasts a strong academic reputation and a history of educating notable figures, including Princess Eugenie and Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Princess of Wales.

Meanwhile, George will reportedly enroll at the prestigious Eton College, the school William and his estranged brother, Prince Harry, went to.

George, Charlotte, and Louis are currently all enrolled at the Lambrook School in Berkshire, England.

According to the news outlet, the decision for George to attend Eton College has seemingly been finalized, as he’ll be moving to the $82,000-per-year college in September. A source claimed that the school staffers have already started displaying a certain “smugness” about the potential announcement.

“I know something and the people at Eton know something, but I’m not going to tell you,” an insider told the news outlet. “That was after William and Kate visited Eton.”

Reports previously suggested that George was registered to enroll at Eton College “several years ago,” with one source saying, “All roads lead to Eton.”

The all-boys boarding school has notably produced individuals at top levels of government, including 19 prime ministers. For his part, William seemingly enjoyed his time at the school, but Harry detailed his horrendous experience in his 2023 memoir, “Spare.”

The Duke of Sussex admitted that he struggled with poor grades while he attended the school, prompting him to ditch university and head straight to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Meanwhile, William recently celebrated his 43rd birthday by sharing a stunning picture on social media.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account posted a photo of William with their family’s Cocker spaniel, Orla, and three of her four recently-arrived puppies.

The message was signed online “with love,” with the initials of Kate and their three children, alongside a paw print emoji.

The official account of the Royal Family also shared a congratulatory post, writing, “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!” with some celebratory emojis.

After sharing the post, William and Kate were slammed for being “staggeringly out of touch” in a scathing remark from PETA, a charity organization “dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals.”

According to GB News, PETA’s Vice President of Programmes, Elisa Allen, said: “The Prince and Princess of Wales should know that shelters here and worldwide are overflowing with puppies desperate for a second chance at a loving home and that churning out a litter in the midst of this animal homelessness crisis is staggeringly out of touch.”

She added, “If William is going to lead, he might well take a lesson from King Charles and Queen Camilla, who have chosen to adopt from a shelter rather than contribute to the problem.”
