Royal Children - Time for State school?

you just wanted to pose me a question that you know I can’t answer.

A pp has answered your question: Lenin managed it. Call everyone Comrade.

What a ridiculous response!

How CAN you bear to write such nonsense!

Perhaps your parents didn't invest in your education?

Why? Why wouldn't you want them to get on the professional ladder?

Also, I wouldn’t have wanted my kids to go to a public school attended by the Royals. Security nightmare. At least the parents at their private schools have the CHOICE to put their kids into that environment, but I wouldn’t have wanted those restrictions put on my kids at a public school and I also wouldn’t have chosen any private schools where Royals or other ‘famous’ kids requiring high security went.

I know if one of our public schools where a big name celebrities kids went and they had many additional restrictions at that school as opposed to other public schools around it! I would have been very unhappy if my kids had of been zoned to that school!

'I'd want my children educated by the best means I could afford', is far from an intelligent answer

I think it’s a ridiculous idea. I’m not in UK but we have public and private schools here also. Some of my kids went private (by choice and as a good fit), and some went public (by choice and as a good fit). Some moved either way between the two. Why deprive people of that choice. Why is the Royal family any different? It could also be claimed they don’t entirely live off ‘the State’. I’m sure Wills probably got a pretty penny after Diana’s death from her own Spencer family Trusts or whatnot (sadly, and obviously he would have preferred his mum over any money), why can’t he use that if he wants?

Beats me, maybe we could employ Timmy Mallet or Su Pollard to put on a musical show for them until they relent and give up their titles! Anyway it doesn’t have to be enforced, it couldn’t, as you very well know, you just wanted to pose me a question that you know I can’t answer. Maybe it could just be a natural conclusion that nobody really needs these titles anymore, they are really just pointless made up shit that serves no practical purpose anymore. It all feels very childish and ‘I’m the king of the castle’.

Thank you, an intelligent answer that makes perfect sense.

The whole world doesn't know what Keir Starmer's children look like, or even their names, and PMs come and go unlike the royal family. There have been lots of good response about security on this thread, it would be impossible in most schools, form your children as well as theirs.

Keir starmers kids manage it

Because it's about a far wider issue

Lenin managed it. Call everyone Comrade.

@cookiebee
I for one would love to see titles like ‘Lord’ and ‘Lady’ scrapped for a start, it automatically fills them with importance over everyone.

How would this be enforced?

Would it be more of an issue than a Pizza party in Wokeham?

Whoops sorry tagged the wrong post. Was meant to tag the post about security at softplay parties 🥳

The tax payer does not pay for their private schooling, so they have every right to spend their money how they wish. And the UK is a democracy, if the monarchy ended tomorrow, we would still have a Labour government and nothing would change.

like it or not they are a very wealthy family and kidnapping blackmail threats would be extremely difficult to control without some form of gatekeeping.
again like it or not due to their family history and wealthy they need a tailored education that balances future safety, and future mental health, the need for employment income is probably unnecessary for a few more generations.
a six year old couldn't and shouldn't be in a position where classmates beg him for money or be blamed for events out of their control.

Just to enlighten you .. we ARE a democracy!! 🥴🙄🤣😅

Royal Children could become a target for a multitude of reasons, besides their security would need to be off the scale.

I don't think it would ever happen because a state school education could not prepare them for their future.

"The duchy was created with the express purpose of providing income to the heir apparent to the throne;"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Cornwall

Links to show evidence this is the case please.

Also which Duchy are you referring to - for which royals?

The taxpayers pay for everything. The Duchy was supposed to pay for everything, that is why they were given the money from it. But they took that, and asked for more.

NO and the schools they attend are not paid for by the taxpayer. Nor are private schools funded by tax payers. In actual fact Britsh parents pay for 2 lots of education, private and state and they dont get the state payment refunded. And I can assure you that it's not a given that parents who send their kids private are snobs. You get snobs everywhere, including in state schools. The RF have the right to send their kids to whichever school they want. It's none of your business.

What has it got to do with you where they educate their children? Would you like someone to start a thread about where you should send yours? This may be news to you, but the Royal children are not yours, and being a taxpayer doesn't mean you get a say.

Ridiculous. And petty.

The security does not cost us £1.50 a year though. That is simply the cost of the sovereign grant. A small amount of the overall expenditure.
The Sovereign Grant does not include the cost of security for the royal family.
