Royal expert Jennie Bond tells the Mirror : “I’m not surprised that Eton has been chosen: there are all sorts of valid reasons for George to go there. It’s every parent’s right to choose what they believe is best for their child.

“William and Catherine fervently believe that Eton, in the shadow of Windsor Castle and so close to their family home at Forest Lodge, is where their son will feel safe and secure.

“We all want the best for our kids, and they’ve given a lot of thought to where George should go. They have done a huge amount of research, visited several schools and undoubtedly they have included George in all their discussions. And their considered choice is Eton. Fair enough.”

She adds: “Eton is a worldWilliam knows well,” the royal expert said. “It saw him through some of the most difficult days of his life, with his parents at war over their failing marriage, screaming headlines about them every day and, tragically, the death of Diana.

“It’s not as if they won’t see George: the boys can go home every two or three weeks and their parents can take them out on Sunday afternoons. They’ll also be encouraged to go along for sports, music or drama events and take part in social activities,” she said.
