Kate Middleton is not happy with Prince William as their eldest son goes to high school.

The Princess of Wales, who dropped off Prince George to Eaton earlier this month, is heartbroken over sending off her child far away.

A source tells Heat World: “Kate is devastated. She hides her emotions well in public, but as soon as she’s behind closed doors, she crumbles.”

“Eton wasn’t her preferred choice of school for George, but she was prepared to compromise because she understands that, as the future King, he needs to be at an institution that suits his position. Eton only accepts boarders, so it was an incredibly difficult decision for Kate. She knew it would be difficult, but it’s been far more emotional than she anticipated,” they note.

The source goes on: “There have been many disagreements with William over how their children should be educated. William sees Eton as the beginning of an exciting adventure, because that was his experience. But he and Kate have had tense words, because his instinct is to just say George will be fine. Kate knows that, but she wants him to understand that she doesn’t feel fine.”
