Prince Louis set for big school perk like siblings George and Charlotte as he approaches seventh birthday
Louis has a big birthday next week!Prince Louis could be set for a big school milestone as he gets ready to celebrate his seventh birthday next week.
Once the young royal celebrates his big day, he’ll be able to enjoy a privilege both his older siblings Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine, are allowed to experience at Lambrook School too.
Prince Louis can enjoy special privilege when he turns seven
Prince Louis and his siblings have been attending Lambrook School – a short, 20-minute drive from Adelaide Cottage – since 2022.
The kids live at home with their parents, Prince William and Kate. However, they do have the option of boarding at the school too.
Boarding is seen as a happy extension of Lambrook School life.
While it is not required that children to live at the school, they can take advantage of the “weekly and flexi-boarding”.
“Boarding is seen as a happy extension of Lambrook School life with 75% of the Prep School taking advantage of boarding in some way,” the school website reads. Because of this policy, children can choose to sleep at school regularly or “one night every so often”.
However, this privilege only applies to children aged between seven and 13.
At the moment, this means that Louis isn’t eligible to stay over at school. However, from April 23, he can!
Kate and William ‘arguing’ over Prince George’s future
Meanwhile, Kate and William are reportedly weighing up their options for George’s educational future.
Prince George will be moving onto the next stage of his education when he turns 13 next summer – which means a new school for the future king.
According to a royal commentator, William and Kate are “arguing” over where to send their eldest once he finishes at Lambrook next year.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Helena Chard said: “The discussions have been circulating for years, with the Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly arguing and debating the decision.”
“Most parents find choosing a good secondary school for their children daunting. Even more so for the Prince and Princess of Wales, who want the best for Prince George,” she then added.
“Princess Catherine has allegedly made it clear that she would rather Prince George attend an unstuffy co-ed school. There has been a long line of unhappy schooling within the family. She is committed to securing the perfect fit for Prince George.”
George tipped to attend Eton College
Royal insiders suggest that Eton College could be George’s destination once he leaves Lambrook.
Prince William and Prince Harry attended Eton when they were teenagers. The school is also just a short drive from Adelaide Cottage.
Writing for the Daily Mail recently, royal expert Richard Eden wrote: “I understand that Eton is the preferred choice.”
However, Kate is reportedly keen for George to attend her old school, Marlborough. Whilst it is further away, it offers a co-educational setup and a less traditional atmosphere. This seemingly fits into her desire to give George as normal an upbringing as possible.
