Duchess Kate sparks rumors with North London school visits
Media are speculating whether Duchess Kate plans to send Prince George to a day school in North London. She was seen touring a facility where a term costs £10,000 (about $12,000).
The Duchess of Wales was seen visiting two elite schools in North London, sparking rumors that she might be looking for a school for her son.
Duchess Kate was seen at University College School (UCS) in Hampstead, where a term costs £10,000 ($12,000). Her visit took place just after the school closed for the Christmas holidays.
In the same week, the Highgate School, located two miles 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, which is said to be her first choice for her elder 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 siblings group, comprising 11-year-old Prince George, 9-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 6-year-old Prince Louis, attends the co-educational Lambrook School. They could attend Marlborough together, which is a co-educational boarding school.
The tuition for Marlborough is £59,000 ($72,000) per year. It is said that the school has already offered Prince George a place and has room for him in the dormitory. This is a good option because the school knows how to ensure the safety of "royals."
Choosing a day school in North London might be unexpected, but it's 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 "Daily Mail" source.
