School for Prince George

[SuperAmazing]

A good natured thread please!

I am always amazed by the poise of the European royal children and, as families, they always seem relaxed and to enjoy meeting the public. They look younger and just more fun. At the Wimbledon final, King Philipe looked relaxed and was able to put people at ease. In contrast, our royals always seem a bit awkward and out of touch.

That led me to think of Prince George and his secondary education. What would we recommend to prepare him for his future role. A year (or two) in a Spanish school where he would mix with people less impressed with UK royalty and to become bilingual? The place in Wales where all the Europeans do the IB? Other ideas?

Why is it assumed he could benefit more doing whatever he is doing now or when he reaches secondary age?, there is a lot of assumptions

Then he should go to whatever secondary school that doesn't require pretest as standard entry requirements.

I'm not sure I agree about security. Eton is vast, sprawling across hundreds/thousands of acres, and the boarding aspect means five times as many hours away from the cutting edge security of home.

Some central London schools are on really compact sites with a small number of entry/exit points, and [for unfortunate reasons] metal detectors and so on are not uncommon.

Eton works well because of all the security staff in the area around Windsor castle and the estate. I'm sure he will go to Eton with Marlborough as a back up.

I enjoyed your joke Agatha 😁

Eton recruits a number of King's scholar as security guard every year for this.

😂 yes, come on @SuperAmazing what are your kids shortcomings? Anything like the character defects you've revealed in you?

Apparently he is given a choice on clothes when appropriate and chooses to dress like his dad. They don't tend to wear clothes with obvious branding and it's fairly traditional. They often seem to be in blue. I'm guessing he only has that one suit (or 2 identical) as kids grow fast!

Eton will suit him perfectly - he will be able to rough and tumble along with a variety of mediocre, entitled, flaccid future tory PMs he will have to entertain once King.

He can also practise wearing his top hat and kick stones at poor children in town at weekends. (that's what the posh kids in my town do, anyway)

Lol. Love a generalisation. Here’s another: in my town, the posh kids are usually running away from poor kids trying to steal their mobile phones.

3 have gone over the past few years - Spain, Netherlands and Belgium - but they are sixth form only - so a while to go until then.

Thank you

another obsequious sycophantic thread about the poise,beauty and fortitude of the cunting royal family
i mean come on,they have one job it’s not overly onerous smile,wave,chitty chatty. And If you’re female be a nice gerl and keep your weight down and reproduce to keep the line going.
He will attend school wherever is deemed appropriate and he’ll be a participant in his own carefully curated life. I don’t think his mum is sweating it with a tutor and past papers and begging tips off other mums about the maths paper

Bingo

prince george always looks anxious and nervous when i see him on tv or in photos

A couple of years in an inner London mixed comprehensive would be character building 😃 My two teens certainly found it an experience never to be repeated 🤣

I was going to say this. It isn’t just the security - any school the Wales children go to will have their policies (uniform, homework, discipline) scrutinised by the Daily Mail. It would add a whole layer of extra stuff for the SLT to care about.

Many European royalty go to local state schools.
