As Kate plans to put family life before duty, is she risking too much?
While the Cambridges are currently putting on a show in Europe on their official tour of Germany and Poland, back home thoughts have already turned to the family’s impending move to London next month.
The couple took the decision to permanently base themselves at Kensington Palace, as opposed to their country bolt hole, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, to coincide with the start of Prince George’s schooling, as well as to better support the Queen by taking on more royal engagements.
But William and Kate’s choice of primary school for their son has proved somewhat controversial. They have decided to send George to £6,000-a-term Thomas’s in well-to-do Batter sea, nearly four miles away from their home and on the other side of the river Thames, meaning they will have to cross Batter sea Bridge several times a day.
There has been growing consternation at the palace that they haven’t chosen to enroll George at the school’s nearby Kensington branch, just a few roads away, especially as Kate and William have supposedly insisted that, like many parents, they will take it in turns to do the school run. The couple are said to have opted for the south London branch instead as it’s popular with middle-class bankers and journalists rather than the old-money Mayfair set, and they want little George, who turns four this week, and Charlotte to socialise with a wider group of children than they otherwise might.
