This is the first time that the three little ones will be in the same school. Previously, George and Charlotte studied at Thomas’s Battersea establishment in London, not far from the family residence at Kensington Palace. For his part, Louis was enrolled not far from them at Willcocks Nursery School. If in their new school, a boarding school exists, the pupils should not stay sleeping there. The family moved to the bucolic setting of Adelaide Cottage near Windsor Castle in the interest of their children – so that they have more freedom than in London – and with the Queen’s permission to leave Kensington Palace.
The establishment is in any case among the most prestigious (and expensive!) in Great Britain in terms of its results and the extra-curricular activities (theatre, sports, etc.) it offers with choice infrastructures. In particular a polo field, the passion of dad William! The lessons last only thirty-five minutes and each class is made up of students of the same level and not necessarily of age. Emphasis is placed on academic sciences as well as on other activities such as cinema, cooking or even technology. Thus, a building brings together an art studio, a laboratory and a computer room for more than 8 million euros! There is even a 20 hectare plot with chickens, pigs and bees.
Boarding school has always been a favored choice for royals in the past, especially those expected to ascend the throne like Prince George. Thus, Prince Philip and Prince Charles were both sent to Cheam School from the age of 8 and then studied at Gordonstoun in Scotland. As for William and Harry, they were educated at Ludgrove School, a boys’ boarding school in Berkshire from the age of young George.
Now that the start of the school year has begun, Prince William will be able to devote himself fully to his role as heir to Queen Elizabeth II – he occupies, after his father, the second place in the order of succession to the throne. His grandmother is raising new concerns about his health but his smile continues to reassure the hearts of the British.
