“The choice of school for the children will tell us a lot about William and Catherine,” she told OK!. “So far, they’ve been such a hands-on parents and, personally, I think it would be sad to see them send their children away to boarding school. I would applaud a decision to keep them as day pupils at schools nearby their home.”
However, Bond also acknowledged that both William and Kate were happy at boarding school themselves. “I suppose it’s what they know, and perhaps they will want to pass this experience on to their children,” she added. Bond suggested the couple may choose an all-or-nothing approach, saying, “I imagine it will be all or nothing – in other words, all three will go away to school, or none of them.”
