The past few months have been a significant challenge for Kate Middleton and Prince William. In March, the Duchess announced through her official Instagram profile that she had been diagnosed with an illness and had begun treatment. At the same time, William's father, King Charles III, was also battling his own health issues. The Prince admitted that it was a very difficult period for him.

Are Kate and William at odds? It's about George's future

In September, Kate shared that she had undergone chemotherapy and was slowly recovering. But life isn't all about work, as the couple has three children who have been supporting their well-known mother courageously during her treatment. However, it seems there are still some issues that keep them up at night.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl spoke with Mirror, which now reports that the parents of George, Charlotte, and Louis can't agree on the future of their eldest son. The disagreement concerns his education, specifically which school he should attend after finishing his current one. Currently, he attends Lambrook, where his siblings also go.

The expert claims that Kate and her husband have completely different ideas about their son's future. The Prince would like George to go to Eton, a boys' school where many royals, including Harry and William himself, have studied. Middleton, on the other hand, prefers a coeducational school for him, allowing him to study in the same place with his siblings again in the future. If Nicholl's words are to be believed, the couple has a tough decision to make.

Kate prefers that George attend a coeducational school to study alongside his siblings. This was her experience when she went to Marlborough with her sister Pippa and brother James. She fondly remembers her school years, but in contrast, William associates many memories with Eton, known for its long tradition of educating aristocrats and royal family members, she explained.

Middleton is reportedly "distressed" by her husband's choice and feels that Eton is too "strict" for their son. However, Nicholl assures that all is not lost yet.

Sometimes traditions need changing. William and Harry did not follow their father's footsteps by attending Gordonstoun in Scotland, after all. Perhaps George will also study elsewhere. Regardless of what happens, William and Kate will undoubtedly consider their son's welfare in making the final decision.
