O kensington Palace announced this week that Kate and William's eldest son, Prince George, would study at Eton College from September this year.
This is an important change in the life of the 14 - year - old boy already next July. So George is leaving school that his younger brothers, Charlotte, 11 years old, and Louis of eight, attend.
The choice of the prince's school was something thought of over time and he thus follows the path of his father and uncle, Harry, who also attended Eton College.
The Telegraph interviewed an old student, who studied at the same time as Harry and William, who reported that the eldest son of ReI Carlos III did not stand out and even suffered bullying.
“ We had no admiration for William, and I don't think he'd want us to. It must be remembered that in Eton, he never stood out much, there were boys from families even richer than his, and also boys of very old English aristocratic lineage, who could trace their ancestry for thousands of years,” he said, noting that the students enjoyed William and called him “German armed with novo-rich.” “He was popular, but he was also just another in the crowd,” he confessed.
William attended school between 1995 and 2000. A source close to the royal family revealed to Daily Express that Kate Middleton was not in favor of letting her son leave home to study. “Kate disagreed with her husband about her son leaving home, even if it is a tradition. She thinks that sending it to an institution of high society goes against all their efforts to modernize royalty ", said the source.
