Prince William and Prince Harry both attended Eton

The Princess of Wales has a sweet link to Prince George's potential new school.

Kate and Prince William are considering ditching Eton and sending Prince George to Marlborough College.


The Princess of Wales is said to be reluctant to send her son to an all-boys school like Eton.

Prince William attended Eton while Kate went to Marlborough College.

Prince George and his parents visited Marlborough College, where a place costs £47,000 a year, earlier this month.

If George does go to Marlborough he will come across one of his mother's former teachers.

Louise Moelwyn-Hughes, 53, a Latin and classics teacher who taught Kate when she was studying for her GCSEs is now the head of the school.

Sending George to a co-educational school would allow William and Kate's other children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to join their brother.

The three young royals all currently attend Lambrook, a co-educational day prep school.

The managing editor of The Good Schools Guide highlighted the opportunity for all three of the children to continue going to school together as a big pull for the royals.

Melanie Sanderson told the Telegraph: "The thing that will appeal to the family most about Marlborough is the fact that all the children will be able to stay together.

"We know that they made a very conscious decision to do that when they chose Lambrook."

Prince William and Prince Harry both attended Eton together, however, the Duke of Sussex said the brothers did not interact much at school.

Harry alleged that William told him: "Pretend we don’t know each other" as he joined Eton.

The Duke of Sussex said: "Yeah, and at the time it hurt. I couldn’t make sense of it.

"I was like, 'What do you mean? We’re now at the same school.

"Like, I haven’t seen you for ages, now we get to hang out together.'

"He’s like, 'No, no, no, when we’re at school we don’t know each other.' And I took that personally."
