Prince George may be the future king of the country but he attends school just like any other child according to his parents sharing the same joys and frustrations. While he spent his first few years of education at school in London, the prince now attends Lambrook School in Windsor along with his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Last year, Princess Katherine reluctantly agreed to her eldest son's wish to be just like his father and attend Eton. But it's not something she would have wanted in the first place because of her own boarding school experiences. She is still heartbroken. She was horribly bullied at her first boarding school and can't bear the thought of George suffering through that.
Marlborough College is one of the country's most prestigious public schools with a rich history in educating poets, artists and now a future queen. In 1996, 14-year-old Katherine arrived at Marlborough having left her previous school Downe House after alleged bullying. Marlborough became her new home and it gave Kate a chance to build up her confidence and friendship circle again. However, settling in her new school was not a breeze. The shy and slender princess, still dealing with the emotional toll of her past experiences, didn't instantly stand out. Her roommate Gemma Williamson described her as thin and pale upon arrival and according to her house tutor Joan Gall, stress caused her eczema to flare up.

Today, the princess is a fashion and beauty trendsetter. Anything she wears instantly causes the 'Kate Effect' with clothing and makeup brands having to deal with an influx of new customers wanting to be and dress just like her. Despite being on the way to becoming a global beauty icon, Katherine wasn't immediately noticed by her male peers at school. In fact, boys at Marlborough would rate the girls as they passed by. She was harshly given the score of just two out of 10, something that would no doubt surprise those who now admire her poise and elegance.
It didn't matter much though as time passed, the princess blossomed into a confident, accomplished young woman. She excelled at hockey, becoming co-captain of the tennis team and grew into a social figure who was very well liked by her peers. Even though her social circle grew, the royal was known to be the grounded, responsible one among her friends. While her peers occasionally snuck off for nights out and partying, Catherine stayed behind. Whilst she was a model student, everyone is allowed one naughty slip up and the only time she broke the rules was when she became sick on the train home after a hockey party.

Catherine we know now transformed from a shy teen into a beautiful and confident young woman at school. She left Marlborough with top A-level results and the title of 'Person Who's Most Likely To Be Loved By Everybody' in her yearbook. For her, Marlborough wasn't just a fresh start, it was the place where she truly blossomed, building the foundation for her future royal life.
Therefore, the princess thinks sending George to such a stuffy upper crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernize the monarchy. Katherine long disagreed with her husband about sending him away even though it's a tradition. George will be able to visit his family every weekend because it's only a 5 minute drive from their winter home. However, she's still worried that she will miss him dearly, the source continued, adding that the princess is finally giving in to her husband's wishes.

As well as studying classic areas of the curriculum including maths, sciences and English, the prince also takes part in lessons outside of the classroom including litter picking. However this served only to annoy George who, like his dad, found the concept of people throwing rubbish on the ground frustrating. Since then, William has given more insight into what school life looks like for the future king, including the fact that he started doing triathlons as a hobby. He is believed to take part in these at his school.
Princess Katherine also spoke out about George's education last year when she revealed that the 10-year-old was starting to face the scary concept of exams.
