Kate ‘heartbroken’ over William’s plans for George but has finally accepted his ‘destiny’

The insider said: “Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it’s tradition.

“Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy.

“Plus, she’ll miss George desperately. She and William argued about it for years, but he has finally won.”However, the Princess of Wales still has a few years to cherish her eldest son’s company before he heads off to boarding school as pupils at Eton usually begin at 13.
