If Prince George is heading to Eton where will Charlotte go?

[Boxingdaymusings]

I know it's not been officially announced that George is going to Eton .. but if he is where will Charlotte go?

Agree for Georges age, but not Louis age

I don't think George would 'stand out' at Eton, exactly.

😐

I would definitely end up in social Siberia as my dc are both spillers😅 I think I'd be very discreet myself!

I reckon Charters would stretch the catchment area for them!

Eton takes a number of kids on full scholarships so George would be meeting kids from all walks of life.
I don't think they will be split up though, they'll go mixed.

Louis is only 6. Six year olds are never discrete unless they are terrified of their parents, which Louis obviously is not. I heard lots about parents private lives that children this age told me. Things I am sure the parents did not realise the children had over heard.

Yes it would be interesting to be a fly in the wall in the classroom & hear what info is divulged!
I always thought it interesting that no info was ever leaked from parents on the school run or from playdates & parties?

Also wonder if Pippa's kids also go to Lambrook? Did her husband go to Eton also?

How academic is Marlborough these days? Less so than Kate’s days?

Why does anyone care?

He went to Uppingham
None of them would be bright enough to get into Eton these days
(I thought that included George who allegedly hasn't got in? )

@JollyHollyMe where did you hear George has not got into Eton?

Thinks. Apparently Eton is very difficult to get into but that gifted boys from poorer backgrounds now can get in on full scholarships which is fair as it should be for the brightest & best.
Anyone know where Pippa's go?

I would he very surprised if George couldn’t get in but having come from a poor background myself I think it is only right that bright boys get a chance to go to elite schools. Amazing - life changing / social justice for them.

Are you kidding, there's no way George wouldn't get in. Even if he was not academic, he absolutely would if it was their family's choice - fgs they took Harry 😂

New Head though- been very clear not accepting on the grounds that your family went before.

But if he wasn't able to get in through the usual selective route, would it be the right environment for him? Being at the bottom of a super-selective school wouldn't be much fun.

That's not to say that I think he would or wouldn't get in on merit, I've no idea.

The old head of Eton said if the boy was just about up to the mark academically & a parent offered cash to fund another’s place he’d favourably consider.

I don’t know whether George is very academic or not. His mum is very bright - a relative went to school with her.

@CruCru I have zero idea if what that poster says is true. But a bright parent does not necessarily have a bright child.

New Head though- been very clear not accepting on the grounds that your family went before.

George isn't just a legacy applicant he's a Prince Of The Realm, it's a very different kettle of fish entirely. They will have whatever their top pick of schools just as Charles attended Cambridge with 2 E's at A Level or similar grades

Re: Harry, IMO his biggest issue at Eton was he wasn’t academically interested enough.

Harry was only sent to Eton to keep him with William after Diana died. It was the wrong fit.

Completely agree. It is a very positive step forwards & a life changing opportunity for the very bright boys who no doubt have also worked very hard to earn their place there.
