Royal Children - Time for State school?

[microplastic]

Should the Royal Family children be educated in state schools? Why do they get to attend private schools on taxpayers money? Is this something the Labour government could push for?

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 🥳

@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?

Lenin managed it. Call everyone Comrade.

Because it's about a far wider issue

Keir starmers kids manage it

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.

Thank you, an intelligent answer that makes perfect sense.

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’.

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?

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

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!

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

What a ridiculous response!

How CAN you bear to write such nonsense!

Perhaps your parents didn't invest in your education?

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.

Who took that and asked for more? The Duchy of Cornwall has been the source of funds for the Prince of Wales since the reign of Edward III (1327-1377) who set it up for his son, Edward of Woodstock (aka the Black Prince). The Duchy pays tax and Charles III worked hard to build it up from not producing much to a successful business that uses sustainable agriculture and builds in vernacular style. How the taxpayers are paying the revenue from the Duchy which generates it's own income is beyond me. Try explaining.

Do people think a private school couldn't get attacked?
Walk round windsor. It's easy to get into Eaton.

No.

Are you saying it's easy to get inside the building and access to the kids?

Exactly, clearly someone who would have benefited from a decent education, beggars belief

Yeah they wander about. Areas are very open. It's like a uni bits all over the town.
It's not high security at all.
The royals will pay for security but they'd do that wherever they are.

Starmer attended the selective state Reigate Grammar School. I guess his kids go to a decent school, but also his kids aren't royalty so not the same scenario

But the problem is some comrades are more equal than others.

2 legs good, 4 legs bad.

Sorry, I shouldn't have implied lack of intelligence when I actually meant narrow minded

Still nonsensical.

It's not "narrow minded" to invest in your childs education - if you can.

Try again?

I remember at the end of West Wing (love that show) The new President put his kids in a local state school. All I could think was how stupid, how'd they manage security without changing the entire school.
