We imagine that the child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will have a lot of privileges when it finally arrives but according to reports today, a posh boarding school won’t be one of them.
Now magazine reports that Kate has allegedly told Prince William that she doesn’t want to send their child to a boarding school because she wants to give him or her a normal upbringing like she had.
Kate wants her baby to have as normal an upbringing as possible and as she approaches her fourth month of pregnancy, she is said to be thinking about the future of her and Prince William’s child.
Kate’s decision to keep her child away from boarding school comes after a friend of the Duchess claimed that Kate was bullied out of her own boarding school in Berkshire when she was 13 for being “too skinny and meek.”

Kate reportedly switched schools and moved to Marlborough College to finish out her education. The headteacher of her former boarding school has denied that the Duchess was badly bullied but did admit that the “catty” atmosphere of the school may have made her feel “like a fish out of water.”
“Kate’s adamant she won’t be sending her children away to school if they don’t want it,” said a source, speaking to the magazine.
“She’s clear she won’t be pressured into having to leave the child for royal duties either. She’s told the Palace: ‘My children will always come first,’” the source added.
