Duchess Kate tours elite schools: A new chapter for George?
Media are speculating about whether Duchess Kate intends to send Prince George to a day school in North London. She was seen touring the facility, where a term costs £10,000 (approximately CAD 17,600).
The Duchess of Wales was spotted visiting two elite schools in North London. This has sparked a wave of rumours that she might be looking for a school for her son.
Duchess Kate was observed at University College School (UCS) in Hampstead, where a term costs £10,000 (CAD 17,600). The Duchess's visit happened just after the school closed for the Christmas holidays.
In the same week, the Highgate School, located 3 kilometres away, was closed—allegedly due to a visit by a "special VIP visitor," thought to be Kate herself.
Will the royal children attend Duchess Kate's alma mater?
Duchess Kate attended Marlborough College in Wiltshire, and it is said to be her first choice for her eldest son after he leaves Lambrook School in Berkshire in 18 months.
This doesn't mean that Duchess Kate and Prince William aren't considering other options.
Currently, the whole group of siblings: 11-year-old Prince George, 9-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 6-year-old Prince Louis, are attending the co-educational Lambrook School. They could attend Marlborough together, which is a co-educational boarding school.
The tuition for Marlborough is £59,000 (CAD 104,000) per year. It's said that the school has already offered a place to Prince George and has room for him in the dormitory. It's considered a good option because the school knows how to ensure the safety of "royals."
Choosing a day school in North London might be an unexpected choice, but understandable given last year's events that affected Kate.
With the year Catherine has had, she may well have thought to herself that she wants to soak up every drop of George’s childhood and tuck him into bed herself each night, said a "DailyMail" source.
