Exclusive Royal Tears: Catherine’s Emotional Breakdown Over George’s School Struggles!

Prince George, despite being the future king, leads a relatively normal life when it comes to school. Like many children his age, George attends school and experiences the same day-to-day joys and frustrations as his peers. Initially, he began his education in London, but he is now enrolled at Lambrook School in Windsor alongside his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. His parents, especially Princess Catherine, have made efforts to ensure their children receive a well-rounded education while balancing royal responsibilities.

Last year, George expressed a desire to follow in his father’s footsteps and attend Eton College, a prestigious boarding school known for educating British royalty. Although Prince William was supportive, Princess Catherine had reservations. Her own experiences at boarding school were marred by bullying, and she remains haunted by the thought of George facing similar challenges. Nevertheless, after some hesitation, she ultimately agreed to let George pursue his wishes despite her personal concerns.

Princess Catherine’s reluctance to send George to boarding school is deeply rooted in her past. In 1996, at just 14 years old, she attended Marlborough College after transferring from her previous school due to alleged bullying. Marlborough provided her with a fresh start and an opportunity to rebuild her confidence, though adjusting to the new environment wasn’t easy. According to her peers, Catherine was shy and reserved when she first arrived, and the stress from the transition caused her eczema to flare up.

Despite the initial difficulties, Marlborough became a transformative experience for Catherine. Over time, she blossomed, becoming more confident and socially engaged. She excelled both academically and athletically, even becoming co-captain of the hockey team. Catherine’s inner circle grew, but she remained a grounded and responsible figure among her friends. Though dedicated to her studies, she wasn’t immune to the occasional slip-up, famously getting sick on a train ride home after a hockey party.

While Catherine was blossoming into a confident young woman at Marlborough, her male peers initially overlooked her. There’s a story that boys at the school rated her appearance rather harshly at first. However, her grace and poise would later captivate people worldwide, making her an international fashion and beauty icon. The “Kate effect” became a phenomenon, with people everywhere rushing to emulate her style. Yet, back in her school days, she was known more for her kindness, modesty, and diligence.

Reflecting on her own experiences, it’s clear why Catherine has reservations about sending George to a similar environment. Marlborough, though ultimately a positive chapter in her life, was also a place of significant emotional growth and recovery from the hardships of bullying. The thought of George facing similar challenges weighs heavily on her mind. However, she understands the importance of balancing tradition with the need to modernize the monarchy.

For George, Eton represents not only a link to his father’s legacy but also a new chapter in his young life. The school’s proximity to the family home in Windsor means he’ll be able to visit frequently. Nonetheless, Catherine worries about missing him and how the experience might affect him, yet she has come to terms with the decision, respecting George’s wishes and William’s perspective despite her own reservations.

George’s education isn’t confined to the classroom. Like his father before him, he is learning valuable lessons outside traditional academics. For example, George participates in community activities like litter-picking, which has reportedly left him frustrated with others’ irresponsibility. William has shared that his son has taken up triathlons as a hobby, further adding to the young prince’s diverse range of interests.

Catherine also revealed that George is starting to face the challenges of formal exams—a daunting experience for any child, let alone a future king. Balancing royal duties with the pressures of school can be overwhelming, but George is navigating this journey with the support of his family. Though challenges lie ahead, his parents are determined to ensure he grows up with as much normalcy as possible while still preparing for his future role as king.
