Rumors are swirling around the potential school choice for Prince George, the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Instead of following in his father and uncle’s footsteps to Eton College, it seems that Marlborough College, a prestigious co-educational institution in Wiltshire, is on the table.
This change could place George in a more diverse environment compared to Kate’s own experiences at the same school in the late 1990s.
Marlborough College comes with a hefty price tag of £47,000 per year, but it’s a move that reflects the shifting priorities of the royal family.
The couple has been seen touring the campus privately, suggesting that they are seriously considering this option.
Located just over an hour from their home at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, the school offers both convenience and quality education.
One of the most appealing aspects of Marlborough College is its commitment to increasing diversity.
The school is actively working to widen access for students from various backgrounds.
Aiming for one in ten pupils to receive a fully funded education by 2033, Marlborough College has launched a massive fundraising campaign to raise £75 million over the next decade.
This initiative is not just a number game; it promises to fund ten transformational bursaries, which are crucial for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend such an esteemed institution.
On the launch day alone, Marlborough raised an impressive £1.3 million, setting a record for any independent school in the UK.
Headmaster Louise Moulwin-Hughes is passionate about this bursary program.
Having taught both Princess Kate and Princess Eugenie, she understands the importance of creating a more inclusive community within the school.
Her vision is to provide life-changing opportunities for students, particularly those from local and inner-city areas.
