Prince George is only eight years old, but the education of a future king is not a matter to be taken lightly. Precisely for this reason, his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, are already thinking about where to enroll him in a few years. Currently, the eldest of his children studies with his little sister Charlotte at St. Thomas’s Battersea, an exclusive private school whose cost is around 27,000 euros a year and which is near Kensington Palace in London. The firstborn of the Cambridges, who is now in fourth year, studies all kinds of subjects there: maths, English, science, history and geography, of course, but also French, religion, computers, art, technology, music and theater. And for two years he has also attended ballet at school, something he loves, according to his father.
Thomas’s Battersea College recently extended the age range of its student body and George could stay in school until he was 18. However, according to the British press, Kate and Guillermo are considering changing his school before he comes of age, but they do not agree on his future school. His father would like to send him to Eton, the prestigious boys’ school (fees 60,000 euros a year) that he attended and his mother would like him to study at Marlborough (which costs about 45,000 a year), as he did in his day. her. The Dukes of Cambridge They have already visited both schools, which only admit students from the age of 13. The haste of his decision is due to the fact that the inscriptions have to be made well in advance.
Leaders have been trained at Eton College such as the current Minister Boris Johnson and actors like Eddie Redmayne. At Marlborough, which is a mixed school, her sister Charlotte could join her in a few years. The two schools are close to Windsor Castle, where the Cambridges want to move to be closer to Queen Elizabeth II. William and Kate have not yet decided where they will enroll their firstborn, but they do agree on one thing: they don’t want him to spend the night away from home. Little George will not spend months in boarding school, but he will return to his house every day.
