Find out what topic close to her heart makes Kate so sad. And keep reading to learn how the couple has argued for years.
Kate Middleton Argues With Prince William
Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton have argued for years over a topic that upsets the princess. And insiders revealed that the argument concerns sending their son George to Eton at age 13, per the Sun.
Because Princess Kate suffered at boarding school, the tender-hearted mom feels that she “can’t bear the thought of George suffering through” similar experiences. As a result, she feels “heartbroken” over Prince William’s final decision.
And a royal insider revealed that the Prince of Wales has made the choice to send Prince George to Eton College when he turns 13. However, the Prince and Princess of Wales did consider sending George to the private school that Kate herself attended in Wilshire, Marlborough College.
A Royal Tradition Determines George’s Fate
But Prince William attended all-boys school Eton College, reportedly causing him to favor that choice. However, Kate doesn’t like same-sex schools such as Eton. And that’s because she “absolutely hated” her time at Downe House, an all-girls boarding school in Berkshire. Kate experienced bullying there, revealed a source.
However, royal tradition favors Eton. And Prince Harry attended Eton College as well. But the insider revealed that Kate and William have argued for years over whether to spend their children to boarding school. And Kate “finally gave in” and agreed to send George to Eton when he turns 13.
But the source shared, “Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it’s tradition. Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernize the monarchy. She and William argued about it for years, but he has finally won.”
King Charles Hated Boarding School
But King Charles also disliked being sent to school when he turned 13. His father Prince Philip sent the young Charles to Gordonstoun. But he hated it, calling it a “prison sentence.” And Charles labeled the school “Colditz in kilts.”
A letter that King Charles penned to his parents in 1963 described the struggles of the then-teenage royal family member. And he wrote, “The people in my dormitory are foul. Goodness, they are horrid. I don’t know how anybody could be so foul.” And in another letter, he wrote, “I hardly get any sleep in the House because I snore and I get hit on the head all the time. It’s absolute hell.” Charles went there from 1962 to 1967.
