Prince Harry, Meghan Markle turn Prince George’s Eton life stressful: ‘Kate’s in knots over it’

Another storm has hit Kate Middleton’s door, or to be more specific, the door of their son Prince George, because this year marks the first time in his life he will be ‘much less sheltered’ than before.

For those unversed, this is because a few days ago Prince George entered another phase of his life at Eton College, a boarding school for some of Britian’s elite. However, it also means he will be spending far more time around his peers and upperclassmen, and thus “the timing of Harry and Meghan's big return could not be worse in Kate's view.”

After all, “this is such a pivotal time for George,” a source explained.

According to InTouch Weekly, they also added, “he's starting this new, much less sheltered chapter of his life, and suddenly all everyone wants to talk about is Harry and Meghan.”

What makes this even worse is that the Saturday Night Live episode also sparked ripples throughout the public given the way it handled the couple’s return.

At this point in time, “Kate knows everyone at Eton must be asking George about all the Harry and Meghan nonsense because it was the big story all week” they also said. So she’s “very concerned about how George will handle that.”

However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return isn’t the only reason things are turning stressful for the future King and Queen. Another issue with Prince George’s transition is also the fact that he is the couple’s first child to move into a less sheltered home life and “they've always tried to shield the kids from everything that's happening with Harry, but now that George is away at school, it's impossible. He's hearing it all and Kate's in knots over the stress that's surely causing him.”
