According to British media, the princes of Wales could opt for a prestigious boarding school, but with a discreet profile
Prince George, first-born of William of England and Kate Middleton, will one day be king. He is second in line to the British throne, although recent events in the Royal Family regarding the health of King Charles III could precipitate his promotion to heir.
In July he will turn eleven years old and it may be that the role that he will have to play from now on will also precipitate his departure from that early childhood to give way to an adolescence in which greater maturity will be required of him than the rest of the family. brothers of him.
In their near future, one of the crucial elements will be education, an issue that would already be decided in the home of the Princes of Wales. According to the British newspaper Mail on Sunday, the center chosen to continue his studies would be Oundle School.
Located in the town from which it takes its name, one hour from Cambridge, it is one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the United Kingdom. Their rates range from 25,000 to 53,000 euros per year. It is the price for an education designed, as its website describes, to form respectful, open-minded and ambitious people, but "never arrogant."
The princes of Wales would thus rule out the Eton College boarding school that Uncle Harry and his own father, William of England, went through. For more than five centuries, Eton College trained the country's elites and was the prelude to later entering Oxford and Cambridge.
Politicians, bankers, archbishops, leading actors, figures from the art world and also prime ministers, such as Boris Johnson and David Cameron, studied in its classrooms. In these last cases, their stay gave a lot to talk about.
The choice of Oundle School could be consistent with that objective of modernizing the Royal House, which was also expressed by King Charles III when he took the throne left by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, when she died.
Another option for Prince George could be Marlborough College, where he studied Kate. After visiting his facilities in December 2023, he was also crossed off the list because, according to Mail on Sunday, he would have become "too flashy", far removed from those Kate wants to educate the future king.
