English schools for the royal family

The Royal Family of Great Britain is the object of attention in many aspects: lifestyle, demeanor, style and fashion, sports and hobbies. Only dogs of the breed of Corgi are worth it! And when it comes to education in England, many students and their parents are drawn to the institutions for crowned persons. To enter one of these British schools or university is considered extremely honorable and prestigious.

The queen Elizabeth II was trained at home. Palace interiors did not prevent her from getting a brilliant education. She was a deputy director of the prestigious Eaton College. However, she became the last of the royal family to be stripped of the company of classmates. Then all the royal heirs attended school on a par with ordinary children. Well almost ordinary, because these were private English schools, where not all segments of British society can be allowed to study.

The queen’s husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, attended Cheam School Primary School, which was founded about 400 years ago. They say that there he did not show brilliant success in academic disciplines, but achieved excellent results in sports. Currently, graduates receive an offer from the best high schools in the UK (Marlborough, Eton, Wellington, Harrow and others). As a senior, Philip attended Gordonstoun School, where he even captained hockey and cricket teams. At the same time, the grown-up future prince managed to earn the title of one of the best students there.

The eldest son of the queen Charles started at Hill House school, and then repeated his father’s path to Cheam and Gordonstoun, which is known for almost army conditions and order. They bring up the masculine character and willpower. The Crown Prince showed brilliant results in all aspects and was deservedly at the faculty of Cambridge University. By the way, he was the first of the royal family to graduate from university.

Elizabeth’s daughter, Anna, was a science student at Buckingham Palace before high school. And then she entered the prestigious English school for girls Benenden School. There she, along with the main subjects perfectly mastered riding. After graduating from school with amazing performance, Anna did not apply to the British university, and immediately began to perform ceremonial royal duties.

Andrew and Edward, the queen’s younger sons were no exception and followed in the footsteps of the older men in Gordonstoun. Andrew there has established himself as one of the best students. And Edward became famous for serious sporting achievements.

Princess Diana attended West Heath Girls’ School in Kent before she connected her life with Charles, from where she left at the age of 16 and failed to pass her final exams. After she dropped out and Swiss school Institut Alpin Videmanette. Granite Science was given to the future heroine of the tabloids with difficulty, but she perfectly learned the art of etiquette, diplomacy and gained the skills of communicating with the people of the highest world. Without it, becoming a princess would not have much chance.

The royal “youths”, Princes William and Harry, attended Mrs. Mynor’s Nursery School in Berkshire. Next was the elitist Eton. There they shared a desk with eastern sheikhs, European and Asian princes. They established diplomatic contacts from a young age.

William went on to study at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. By the way, here he met his future wife Kate Middleton. And Harry chose the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and became a junior lieutenant in the cavalry. Both princes studied very diligently, while in sports were in the first roles. The family could be justifiably proud of their success.

Kate Middleton attended St Andrew’s School, Pangbourne, for nine years. Here she showed her athletic makings: on her account school record for high jump, which has not yet been beaten by anyone. Plus a place at the heart of the school hockey team. Kate then moved to Down House and then went on to study at one of the UK’s best schools, Marlborough College. She received her higher education at St Andrew’s University in Scotland.

Royal great-granddaughter Chartott attended Willcocks Nursery Primary School, which is just outside the palace. The staff of the school are exclusively ladies. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The rating and prestige of this educational institution force to register children at school immediately after birth.

William and Kate’s eldest son, George, initially went to the democratic Westacre Montessori. They highlight the development of children in society and individual freedom. Children move freely in classes, choose extracurricular activities and what to do as homework. In 2017, the Prince moved to Thomas’s Battersea, which sits across the river from Buckingham Palace and requires some time on the road. The school is very popular with parents who care about the future of education. Popularity is understandable – graduates go straight to Eton, King’s Wimbledon and St Paul’s.
