The Prince and Princess of Wales are at an unusual impasse about their son George’s secondary school, according to rumours. A regular, incredibly rich couple might fight about whether or not to send their kid to boarding school because it means that the child will have to live somewhere else, and some parents don’t like that. They might, in an alternative universe where one of them was politically engaged, have had a fight about whether or not to send George to private school at all.
In fact, Kate’s problem with Eton college, which is William’s choice, is that it’s single-sex; she got horribly bullied at school, which – you’ll have to just surrender to the gossip mill, here, a causal link hypothesised by an anonymous insider – was because it was an all-girls’ school.
