Prince William and Kate Middleton with their children

In September, Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, attend a new school – Lambrook. Let’s talk about the main thing.

The Dukes of Cambridge chose Lambrook School in Berkshire for their children. Not far from Adelaide Cottage, where the family will move in at the beginning of the school year. Previously, George and Charlotte attended Thomas’s School in south London while their younger brother attended Willcocks Nursery. At Lambrook, George would go to kindergarten, Charlotte to third and George to fifth.

Journalists calculated that the children’s education would cost Dukes £51,855 (about 3.6 million rubles) per year. The school is said to be “respectable but not the most luxurious”. According to Lambrook’s website, it is a “fast-growing independent school” with 620 students.

– talks about the mission of the educational institution.

Lambrook’s graduates tend to attend the most prestigious colleges, including Eton, where Prince William studied, Marlborough College, Wellington, Charterhouse, where Kate Middleton attended.

Region

The school is located in the suburbs and occupies an area of ​​​​about 21 hectares. The main building is a large white 19th century mansion. The area has a garden with beehives, rabbits, chickens, lambs, pigs and even a few peacocks. This, according to the school’s leadership, “contributes to the acquisition of practical skills by children, a deeper understanding of the principles of caring for animals and the organization of the food industry.”

Communicating with nature and staying in the fresh air are often given special attention here. On the territory of the school there is a forest, a golf course, several sports playgrounds, a 25-meter swimming pool, a dance studio and much more.

Notable students

The Cambridge children are not the first royals among Lambrook’s students. Queen Victoria’s grandchildren, Princes Christian Victor and Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, studied here (at that time the school only accepted boys). According to the educational institution’s website, the queen would often come from Windsor Castle to watch the princes play cricket or attend school productions. His website even lists where his car is usually stopped. Now, instead of the cars in Lambrook’s parking lot, it’s all Ferrari, Tesla and Lamborghini.

According to rumors, the news that William and Kate’s children will study at school did not please many parents. Since the first reports of such an opportunity surfaced, public and media attention to the school has grown tremendously, and waiting lists have been extended many times over. Some parents say that “if the madness doesn’t stop” they would prefer to consider other schools for their children.
