Back to School for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louie: A Royal Education Decision

As the festive period comes to a close, it’s back to school for the young Royals. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louie are all gearing up to return to their studies after a fun-filled Christmas break.

For Prince George, the eldest, this school year is particularly significant—it marks his penultimate year at his current school before making the transition to his next academic chapter.

A Royal Education with Security in Mind

Currently in Year Seven at Lamri School in Berkshire, Prince George is joined by his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louie, at the same institution. The Prince and Princess of Wales have made a crucial decision about the future of their children’s education, ensuring they receive a top-tier schooling experience with a focus on security and well-being.

According to sources at the prestigious Wiltshire institution, Marboro College, the parents have finalized their decision for George’s next school. Marboro College, which was also the school attended by Princess Catherine (formerly Middleton), is now set to be the new educational home for all three of the Royal children. This decision has caused a stir among parents and has sparked widespread discussions, particularly regarding the security measures in place for the young Royals.

Security Considerations for Prince George

A well-placed insider at Marboro College revealed that discussions about the children attending the school have ramped up significantly in recent weeks. While the prestigious institution offers excellent educational opportunities, security remains a top priority. Prince George is expected to be housed in the central courtyard area of the college, a location that provides more security but requires careful consideration due to its proximity to public areas. The risk posed by the scattered houses along Bath Road, which are located farther from the central hub, is another concern.

In 2023, Prince George and his parents visited Marboro College, where Catherine’s brother, James Middleton, also attended. The prospect of the Royal siblings attending the same school together is considered positive news for their development and educational experience.

Keeping the Royal Siblings Together

Experts have noted the benefits of keeping Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louie together during their early school years. Jenny, a royal education expert, commented, “I always thought it was a wise decision to keep the children together during their early school years. I think this has proven to be the case, especially during this past difficult year. It must have been a huge comfort for the three of them to be together at school when life at home was so full of anxiety.”

The Royal children have certainly been shielded from much of the public attention and scrutiny. Their school has managed to protect their privacy admirably, providing a safe environment where they can focus on their studies and enjoy their childhood.

The Royal Children’s Nicknames

Away from school, the young Royals have their own affectionate nicknames. Prince George, who has previously attended Thomas’s Battersea School in London and Willcox Nursery School, is affectionately called “PG” or “PG Tips” (a playful nod to the popular British tea brand) by his family, including his parents. As for Princess Charlotte, Prince William reportedly calls her “Moo,” a French term for “cute.” Additionally, “Loie” is another nickname used for Charlotte, as revealed by a woman who met the family in 2019.

Prince Louie’s nickname was revealed by Princess Catherine during a royal engagement in which she was toasting marshmallows with the Scouts. While helping Louie prepare his marshmallow, Catherine referred to him as “Pop,” a sweet and endearing moniker.

Decisions About the Future: Eton College or Marboro College?

In the last few years, reports have suggested that the Prince and Princess of Wales were torn between sending their children to Eton College in Berkshire or Marboro College in Wiltshire. Both schools have significant royal associations, with Eton being the alma mater of many royals, including Prince William and Prince Harry. However, it seems that the decision to send George to Marboro College has been finalized, marking a potential shift from family tradition.

Prince George will celebrate his 12th birthday in July, and while there is speculation that he might follow in his parents’ footsteps and attend Eton College, it’s also possible that traditions may change. As expert Nickle notes, “William and Harry didn’t end up following in their father’s footsteps by going to Gordonstoun, so there’s always the possibility that George will break the Eton mold and attend a different school.”

A Bright Future Ahead

With Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louie embarking on new educational experiences, the Royal family is navigating the balance between tradition and modernity. As the young Royals prepare to enter a new chapter in their academic journeys, their privacy and security remain at the forefront of the Royal family’s decisions. While the future is full of uncertainty, one thing is clear—the Royal children will continue to receive an education befitting their status while enjoying their childhood years in the company of their siblings.
