Princess Kate Grows Emotional as Prince George Prepares to Leave Home for Eton
Princess Kate is reportedly finding it difficult to hide her emotions as Prince George prepares to leave home for the next chapter of his education. The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be making the most of the remaining weeks of summer before their eldest son begins boarding school.
Prince George is due to start at Eton College in September, following in the footsteps of his father, Prince William. The move marks a significant milestone for the young royal as he begins a new stage of life and education.
While Prince William and Princess Kate have continued carrying out their public duties with smiles, reports suggest the future Queen has been feeling increasingly emotional behind the scenes. George’s departure is said to be affecting her more than she expected.
According to Closer, Princess Kate is determined to make every remaining moment with her eldest son count before he settles into life at Eton. The family is reportedly spending as much quality time together as possible during the school holidays.
An insider claimed that Kate is finding it difficult to accept that Prince George is growing up so quickly. The source suggested the transition has brought a mixture of pride and sadness for the devoted mother.
“Kate is genuinely upset that her son will soon leave home. She is determined to make every remaining week of the summer count before her ‘baby’ departs,” the insider reportedly said.
The source added that the Princess of Wales has already become emotional while thinking about the upcoming change. “She’s incredibly emotional about it. She’s already shed a few tears. In her eyes, she’s saying goodbye to her little boy.”
Although Eton College is located relatively close to the Wales family’s home, Prince George’s move will still bring major changes to their daily routine. Boarding school means the family will no longer spend every day together.
Reports suggest Princess Kate is especially aware of how different life will feel once the school term begins. Instead of seeing George every day, family time will be limited to weekends, holidays and scheduled visits.
“Kate knows she’ll suddenly go from seeing him every day to only seeing him at set times during the term,” another insider explained while describing the emotional adjustment ahead.
Prince George’s decision to attend Eton also continues a long-standing royal tradition. Prince William studied at the prestigious Berkshire school, making it a familiar path for the future king.
According to the report, Princess Kate may have preferred a school where George could return home each evening if she had been choosing only as a mother. However, she is also said to recognise the value of the education and experiences Eton offers.
The insider claimed Kate understands the important role Eton can play in preparing Prince George for the responsibilities that await him as a future monarch. The school is widely regarded as providing leadership, independence and confidence for its students.
As September approaches, Prince William and Princess Kate are reportedly focused on supporting Prince George through this important transition. While the move will be an emotional moment for the family, it also represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter as the young royal follows in his father’s footsteps and continues preparing for the future that lies ahead.
