The Princess of Wales reportedly visited two schools
The Princess of Wales has reportedly been spotted touring two prestigious north London schools, fuelling speculation about Prince George's future education.
Kate, who announced she is in remission from cancer, is believed to have visited the £10,000-per-term University College School (UCS) in Hampstead after its Christmas break closure, according to the Mail.
During the same week, she was allegedly the VIP visitor at nearby Highgate School, located just two miles away.
The visits to the north London institutions have sparked rumours about a potential change in educational plans for the young prince.

Both schools were closed during the special visits, suggesting the high-profile nature of the tours.
Prince George, aged 11, currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire alongside his siblings Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
The co-educational institution has been home to all three Wales children, with Kate reportedly keen to keep them together.
Marlborough College in Wiltshire, Kate's own alma mater, had been widely understood to be the preferred choice for Prince George when he leaves Lambrook in 18 months.

The £59,000-a-year boarding school could accommodate all three siblings, and sources indicate Prince George has already been offered a place.
A house has reportedly been earmarked for the young prince at Marlborough, with the institution said to be well-suited to his security requirements.
However, the recent north London school visits suggest the Wales family may be exploring alternative options.
A source close to the situation told the Daily Mail that the north London day school option could reflect changing priorities for the Wales family.

PAThe source said: "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."
The school visits could also be connected to Kate's work with the Royal Foundation.
The Princess of Wales attended an Early Years meeting at Windsor Castle in September last year, one of her first official engagements following chemotherapy.
Early years education remains a subject close to her heart, with the princess expressing that she takes great joy from her work in this area.
