Why the Decision May Stay Private

The Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly weighing these two options carefully. Once they make a final choice, they are expected to delay sharing it publicly, as any announcement would immediately place the school under intense public scrutiny.

“[The Waleses] understand that the school itself, as well as George’s new peer group, will fall under intense scrutiny as soon as it is revealed and will probably want to minimise this, allowing the young royal to transition to his new school with as little fanfare as possible,” said Melanie Sanderson, Managing Editor of The Good Schools Guide.
