"Her heart is broken": The relationship between Britain's Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton always seems very photogenic and majestic in front of the cameras, but behind the closed palace doors it turns out that like any married couple with children, the royal pair also have differences of opinion about how their children are educated.
According to reports from people familiar with the matter, William wants to send their eldest son, Prince George, to be educated at the prestigious Eton College, a private, boys-only boarding school where he and his brother Prince Harry are a graduate, when he turns 13. Kate, for her part, strongly opposes this.

"Kate was severely bullied when she started out in high school at an all-girls boarding school, and she fears George will face a similar fate," sources told In Touch Weekly. "She thinks that sending George to such an arrogant aristocratic school clashes with all efforts to provide her children with as normal a life as possible and modernize the rigid monarchy."
According to the sources, the issue of the 10-year-old prince's high school has been causing friction between Kate and William for a long time, and although it is a royal tradition, Kate opposes it. "Her heart is broken," the sources added, but it appears William will eventually have the upper hand, and Prince George will indeed find himself educated at the prestigious institution, after the three were spotted touring the place last December.
