Kate Middleton and Prince William are reported to be divided over how to handle Prince George's next steps as the 12-year-old prepares to leave Lambrook School this summer, with the latest talk centring on whether his future should be shaped quickly around royal duty or guarded a little longer for the sake of a normal childhood. Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George, and the tension, is already being felt behind palace doors.
The debate has sharpened after William appeared to confirm in a recent radio appearance that George had spent the night boarding at Lambrook, a small but telling detail that set off fresh speculation about the boy's next school and the life that will follow it. With Lambrook taking pupils only up to Year 8, the question of where George goes next has become unavoidable, even if Kensington Palace has not named a school.
