Kate Middleton and Prince William are to end the royal tradition for George and Charlotte with a move to Windsor, it has been claimed.
William went to boarding schools Ludgrove School and Eton College from from the ages of eight until he was 18.
The couple's eldest son Prince George and his younger sister Charlotte now go to Thomas Battersea Prep School.
But a former royal aide reckons the family's possible move to Windsor could end the tradition of royal children attending boarding school.
Dickie Arbiter, told presenter Kate Thornton on streaming platform, The Royal Beat, about the royal youngsters' schooling arrangements.
Mr Arbiter, a former press secretary to the Queen, said: "Being close by the children's school means that they probably won't have to board.
"Although, boarding's no bad thing."
He added: "They won't have to board, they'll probably live at home".
"It will be good as they will be close to the Queen.
"They'll be close to his [William's in-law and Kate's parents], the Middletons, at Bucklebury.
"They'll be close to London, when the need arises to go back to work."
Now the family live at Kensington Palace, but if they do move the children's schools, they are likely to move to Adelaide Cottage on the Queen’s Windsor estate.
Earlier this month The Mirror told how The Duchess of Cambridge got her hands dirty as she got stuck into a messy art session at a children's hospice.
Kate told one girl "don't be shy" as she let her paint her hand as they created a cute canvas full of handprints.
The Duchess, alongside Prince William, visited the Milton branch of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) on Thursday, which was opened by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1989.
The couple were greeted by cheers and a round of applause by school children from the region, who waved flags upon their arrival during Children’s Hospice Week.
The Duchess was presented with a bouquet of flowers by 15-year-old Chloe Bowes, who has a neurological condition called bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria.
Kate, who has been patron of EACH for 10 years, donned a floral face mask as she entered the hospice.
William joined her as they met three families who make use of the charity’s services, including 12-year-old James Hall, who has a genetic connective tissue disorder.
Kate placed her hand on James’s knee as she spoke with his mother, Claire, and his older brother Henry.
The duke and duchess were then greeted by Kirsty and Gary Carlin, whose four-year-old daughter Libby lay sleeping on the floor beside them.
After learning about her rare genetic condition, Libby’s parents offered to wake their daughter before the duke said: “Please don’t wake her.”
“We know what happens when you wake a sleeping child,” Kate added.
