How Prince William and Kate Middleton are trying not to make ‘life difficult’ for other parents at their children’s school

Prince William and Kate Middleton are known for being hands-on parents. They are making considerable efforts to ensure their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, have a normal life while attending Lambrook School in Berkshire. The Prince and Princess of Wales are frequently seen at school events, showing their support for their children. They understand the attention they draw and are careful not to make things difficult for other parents because of the media's focus on them.

The Royals don't want to make life difficult for other parents
Royal expert Richard Palmer noted in the I Newspaper that William and Kate are "keen not to make life difficult" for other parents at Lambrook. The couple is used to being photographed, but their royal status has brought their children into the public eye, whether they like it or not.
Since the young royals started attending Lambrook in 2022, some photographers have attempted to take pictures of them, despite the security measures in place. According to Palmer, "At Lambrook School in Berkshire, where all three children are pupils, discreet security is in place to protect them, but that does not stop the occasional rogue photographer turning up or parents publishing pictures on the internet of George playing football."

The royal expert also added, "According to the other mums at Lambrook, she turns up for sports days, she turns up for special matches, and she's a very hands-on mum."
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, shared her perspective to The Mirror US, "I think Kate and William are very conscious of how much it costs the taxpayer to guard them - guard not being the exact word - but to kind of give them the security which they absolutely have to have," She noted, “To have three different schools in three different parts of the country, I think would be very difficult.
Will Prince George have to change schools?
Lambrook School is the easy 20-minute car trip from their home, Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Home Park. However, as it only caters to children up to the age of 13, Prince George, who is 11, will soon need to move to a new school for his secondary education.

There is a real question as to where George will continue his education. Prince William has apparently indicated his preference for Eton College, the all-boys school that both he and brother Prince Harry attended. Eton has long held a relationship with the royal family and maintains a traditional structure.
However, Kate Middleton is said to prefer a co-educational school like Marlborough College, where she studied with her siblings, Pippa and James Middleton. "Their next schools have not been announced yet, although all three have been tipped to go to Kate’s alma mater, Marlborough," Palmer. Last year, a royal expert Katie Nicholl told The Mirror, "Kate’s preference is for George to be at a co-education school, so he can be with his siblings,". Nicholl added, "It was a very happy school life for her, and she believes it would offer George a more balanced and less restrictive environment."
Historically, the royal family has often followed traditional educational paths. King Charles III attended Gordonstoun in Scotland, while William and Harry went to Ludgrove before Eton. Yet, there is a possibility that William and Kate may break from tradition to accommodate George’s individual needs.
Nicholl had explained, "William and Harry didn’t follow in their father’s footsteps by going to Gordonstoun, so there’s always the possibility of a different choice for George,". She emphasised that "Ultimately, the decision will be based on what’s best for him, even if it means breaking the Eton mold".
Other schools mentioned as possibilities include Oundle School in Northamptonshire and St Edward's School in Oxford. Before Lambrook, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were at Thomas' Battersea, a day school where Marie Claire notes the £10,450 per term fee.
