Prince William and Kate Middleton are taking a new approach to raising their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as they take steps to reshape the monarchy.

According to a new report, the Prince and Princess of Wales are emphasizing on normalcy and family life over strict royal tradition.

An insider revealed that rather than separating George, who is the second in line to the British throne, from his siblings, William and Kate have chosen to keep him at a co-ed school alongside Charlotte and Louis.

They said this decision reflects William’s intention to modernize the monarchy by giving his children a more balanced upbringing.

"This fits squarely with William's determination to modernize not just the monarchy, but how royal children are raised within it,” an expert claimed while speaking with Radar Online.

They added, “Choosing to educate George alongside Charlotte and Louis is a clear break from the old model, where heirs were singled out and separated early.

“For the royal family, this represents genuinely new ground – a conscious decision to prioritize emotional development and family unity over rigid tradition."

They went on to share that for generations, “future monarchs were placed on a different track almost from birth, including single sex schools.”

“This decision marks a deliberate move away from that mindset, signaling that William and Kate want to delay the moment when George is defined solely by his role, and instead allow him to grow up as a child first, rather than an institution in waiting."
