During this period, William's father, King Charles III, was also battling illness. The prince has admitted that it was an exceedingly difficult time for him.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl spoke with the Mirror, reporting that George, Charlotte, and Louis's parents are at odds concerning their eldest son's future. Specifically, it's about the school he will attend after completing his current one. He currently goes to Lambrook, which his siblings also attend.

The expert claims that Kate and her husband have very different ideas about their son's future. The prince wants George to attend Eton, a boys' school where many royals, including Harry and William, studied. Middleton, however, prefers a co-educational institution so he can study in the same place with his siblings in the future. According to Nicholl, the couple faces a tough decision.

Kate prefers George to attend a co-educational school to be able to study with his siblings. This was her preference when she attended Marlborough with her sister Pippa and brother James. She recalls her school years fondly, but William has many memories tied to Eton, a school with a long tradition of educating aristocrats and members of the royal family. - she explained.

Middleton is reportedly "devastated" by her husband's choice, believing Eton is too "rigid" for their son. However, Nicholl reassures that all hope is not lost yet.

Sometimes traditions need to change. After all, William and Harry didn't follow their father's footsteps by attending Gordonstoun in Scotland. Perhaps the same will happen with George, and he will study elsewhere. Whatever decision is made, William and Kate will certainly consider their son's best interests.
