Princess Diana set first stone of modernized education in royal family

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided to send their three children to Lambrook school in September after relocating to Windsor.

The move has been driven by William and Kate’s wish to offer their children a more rural upbringing away from the activities of Kensington Palace.

The decision reflects the actions of Princess Diana, who played a vital role during her time in the royal family in being the trendsetter and modern royal.

Diana – the ‘People’s Princess’ influenced the British monarchy to change the way how the royals educate their children.

Lady Diana was ahead of her time as she managed to offer William and Harry a normal upbringing, which included the Montessori method of learning.

According to the Earl of Spencer, Diana used her experiences of being a nanny and working in a nursery, as she educated William in the public school system.

Diana’s former press secretary Patrick Jephson told ABC News that the princess of Wales tried her best to ensure the boys stayed down to earth.

“She made sure that they experienced things like going to the cinema, queuing up to buy a McDonalds, going to amusement parks, those sorts of things that were experiences that they could share with their friends,” he said.

Similarly, to Diana, William and Kate have enrolled their children into schools from nursery age. All three of the Cambridge children will start their new school in September.
