to think the name of Prince George's nursery shouldn't have been disclosed?

[lifeinslowmotion]

An article in the news today says that Prince George will be starting nursery in January and gives the name and location of the nursery.

Now I know everybody knew where Prince William and Harry went to school/uni but we are living in different times. This is a massive security risk isn't it? Surely the security at the nursery won't be as high as at their home on a private estate?

I'm really quite surprised that this information has been published.

AIBU to tell my DC if the future king hits them, they're to hit him back?

Lol reni that's funny

We used to refer to them as 'hrh' it was our code. On one occasion Harry was upset as someone had thrown stones at the car as it arrived. This was in St. John's Wood and locals would have been aware young royals attended this establishment ( not just Harry and wills) on a weekly basis. It was a music group for kids

The minefield of handing out roles at nativity . And the PTA are sorted! One slice of that wedding cake at the bake sale will raise what they need for a decade.

I agree but this kind of thing gets out, precisely because of threads like this drawing attention to it. You're part of the problem, OP!

I couldn't be less interested. But if they didn't name it, they would have been followed to find out. The information is now worthless and they will probably be allowed to go in peace. Except for the first day.

Security will already be in place.

Some people are interested. No idea why.

Oh, come off it. If they'd tried to keep it secret it would have come out on the first day of term anyway. So why bother?

Social climbing mothers are probably frantically filling in the registration forms right now. Poor kid. How will he recognise who's a true potential friend?

I suppose that W and H learnt, and he will too.

I don't think George needs to be worried about 2 year olds with an eye on improving their social status. Their parents perhaps but not the kids!

A lot of parents might want to make alternative arrangements. I would. It would be cumbersome, getting your bags and background searched, being papped, having your kids watched by armed officers and all this is assuming there are no security breaches.

If there are, normal kids will just be collateral damage and won't be the first to be rescued when there is a baby who is blatantly more important and valuable than the others. I prefer to be an equal.

I suppose in this day with Isis an ever present threat I'd rather not have my DC in the same place!

Lols at flogging the Royal PE shorts on EBay. I imagine that would lead to a security services knock on the door!

George Cambridge surely?

God, it would be awful to have a child there (I don't know where the nursery is, as I am the least royal-aware person in the country. Someone only pointed out to me quite recently that Swishy-Haired One and Balding Lost His Boyish Good Looks One had had another baby - assuming not London?), wouldn't it?

I'd be hopping mad they had opted for somewhere my offspring was happily settled. Surely the nursery would lose business from parents who wouldn't want the security hassles or press scrutiny? Or am I being hopeless republicanly naïve and in fact it will now be insanely oversubscribed, even if new children and their parents now have to jump through all kinds of security hoops before they enroll...?

CastaDiva I imagine they would be immediately oversubscribed but at the same time have a near 100% change in kids. Most would leave to avoid the hassle and a totally new set would start. In 4 years' time on Charlotte's graduation normal service would resume.

This definitely won't harm the nursery's business. Even 15 years from now a certain sort of person will be all 'Yes Tarquin goes to Bean Sprouts.......IT'S WHERE PRINCE GEORGE WENT YOU KNOW.'.

Sounds better than ours, a not very well known premier league footballer is our junior school's claim to fame.

LOVING the idea of:

""George Wales" lovingly sharpied on and later, as hand-me downs with "George Lottie Wales".

reni2 that is toooo funny!.x

Wasn't William supposed to have been known as 'biter-Wills- briefly?

Hope he has a good enough time wherever he goes.
Just like we'd all wish for all our children.

The nursery is (according to the Beeb) an OFSTED-rated 'good' Montessori nursery close to their Norfolk home.

I doubt there'll be a rush of pushy new applicants in a small, semi-rural area.

God, some wannabe-Carole Middleton out there is probably already plotting to have little Mabel or Henrietta seek out George with the aim of becoming queen in about 50 years time!

squoosh "Tarquin goes to Bean Sprouts..."

Well, it didn't do the Swishy Haired one any harm being conveniently at the same educational establishment as the Now Balding One, did it

Wherever William went, I wouldn't send my child there, have you heard him speak?
Common as muck, glottal stops everywhere!!!

I don't know, even if you're the most repellent and obvious form of social climber, would you actually opt for the security hassles and press scrutiny? Really? What's realistically in it for other parents - the possibility of a party invitation, bragging rights, encountering a royal nanny and guys with under-arm holsters?

Oh good Lord. Imagine the nightmare opening words 'Mummy - George pulled my hair today and made me cry!'.

'It's ok darling. He's allowed.'

now, if I just move my wee darling down from Scotland and to the right part of London.

Argh, scratch that, she's 8 already.

Mind you, the Third Person in the Marriage one is older than the One Who Speaks to Plants...

CastaDiva what do you mean "assuming not London", when you say

(...I am the least royal-aware person in the country. Someone only pointed out to me quite recently that Swishy-Haired One and Balding Lost His Boyish Good Looks One hadhad had another baby - assuming not London?)

Charlotte was born in St Marys Paddington same as George.
