The Prince and Princess of Wales have disclosed that prioritizing their eldest son, Prince George’s, mental wellbeing was a key factor in their decision to send him to Eton College. While acknowledging Eton’s academic reputation, William spoke of the school’s emphasis on pastoral care and understanding the pressures young people face. He highlighted the importance of a supportive environment during adolescence, particularly given the unique circumstances of growing up in the public eye. Kate echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for George to have a childhood that allows him to develop into a well-rounded individual. The couple made the announcement during a visit to Eton, where they met with students and staff. The choice of Eton, a traditionally all-boys boarding school, has been subject to some debate, but the royals have now clarified their reasoning centers on George’s emotional and mental health. They believe Eton provides the necessary support system for him to thrive.
