Her transformation was also credited to her appearance—losing her childhood braces contributed to her newfound confidence, according to former teacher Denise Alford.

Kate completed her education at Marlborough before attending St. Andrew’s University, where she eventually met Prince William, shaping her path to becoming a future queen.

The Debate Over Prince George’s Education

Now, Kate and William must decide whether Prince George will follow royal tradition and attend Eton College, a prestigious boarding school previously attended by both William and Harry. George, now ten, has already toured Eton, as registration for the school begins at that age.

However, Kate is reportedly apprehensive about the decision. Insiders claim that while she has agreed to George’s desire to be “just like his father,” she remains deeply concerned due to her own negative boarding school experience. “She’s still heartbroken. She was horribly bullied at her first boarding school and can’t bear the thought of George suffering through that,” a source told In Touch Weekly.

Though Eton is just a short drive from their Windsor home, allowing George to visit his family regularly, Kate still worries about sending him away at such a young age. She has also expressed concerns about the monarchy’s modernization efforts, feeling that enrolling George in such a traditional institution may contradict their goal of raising their children with a sense of normalcy.

Despite her reservations, sources suggest Kate has finally given in to William’s wishes, acknowledging the long-standing royal tradition.

A Crucial Decision for the Future King

The choice of school for Prince George will reveal much about William and Kate’s parenting philosophy. Former BBC royal expert Jennie Bond noted that the couple has been very hands-on with their children, making it uncertain whether they will fully embrace the boarding school route.

“I think both William and Catherine were happy at boarding school,” Bond stated, “and perhaps they will want to pass this experience on to their children.”

As the future king, Prince George’s education is a matter of great significance. While Kate may have hesitations, it remains to be seen whether the couple will ultimately prioritize royal tradition or a more modern approach to parenting.
