Princess Kate is urging Prince William to follow a new direction with a major Prince George decision, according to a royal commentator.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, first attended Thomas’s school in Battersea, London.

Royal commentator Katie Nicholl said: “When Kate was in hospital, George was on the football pitch playing with his friends.
“That sense of normality, of keeping the family going at one of the hardest times they’ve ever gone through, was important.
“The school gives them a great infrastructure and a great support network, and allows the children to live a regular childhood – a low-key, happy, albeit privileged childhood.”
However, Lambrook is a preparatory school, which means for their eldest child George, there are very difficult decisions looming.
Traditionally, royal children have either been home-schooled or, as was the case for King Charles III and his two sons, sent to boarding school.
According to Nicholl, Kate and William, both 42, have previously clashed over this huge decision.
William wants George to attend the elite single-sex boarding school Eton, but according to royal sources, the Princess of Wales would prefer her eldest to attend a mixed-sex establishment like Marlborough College in Wiltshire, which she attended from 1996 to 2000.

Nicholl told OK!: “Kate’s preference is for George to be at a co-education school, so he can be with his siblings, which is what Kate experienced at Marlborough with her sister, Pippa, and brother, James. It was a very happy school life for her, but William has very fond memories of Eton, which has a long history with aristocrats and members of the Royal Family.”
She continued: “There’s always the possibility of traditions being changed. William and Harry didn’t end up following in their father’s footsteps by going to Gordonstoun [in Scotland], and it may be that George breaks the Eton mould and ends up somewhere else.
“Whatever happens, it’ll be a decision made by William and Kate with George’s best interests factored in.”
