[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meghan does NOT have to send her kid to boarding school. Charles actually good have gone to school locally and lived in the palace but it was Phillip who insisted on sending him to Scotland.  All the top boarding schools usually offer acceptance to "day students"- no reason they won't do that.  They really are in a better position than William and Kate to make different choices.[/quote]

But Phillip insisted because the Queen’s education was sorely lacking. Reporters gloss over it now but she couldn’t even hold a proper dinner conversation on politics or foreign affairs when she became monarch. She had really good Prime Ministers who ran the nation without interference then. [/quote]

NP. I know we shouldn’t trust “The Crown” on matters of historical accuracy, but according to them, the Queen wanted to send Charles to Eton. It was Philip who insisted on the Scottish boarding school (that latter point I have heard elsewhere as well).

Does anyone know whether Beautice and Eugenie attended boarding school? They would be their generation’s equivalent to Harry and Meghan’s kids. [/quote]

Yes, they both went to boarding schools more than an hour away from London or their parent's estate. They went to all-girls boarding schools while the boys went to all-boys.

For Eton, the Queen wanted to follow tradition with Charles but Phillip was feeling emasculated as head of the family and it didn't help that Charles was a bit of a wimp growing up so P thought it would toughen him up.

Eton is a brilliant school and I think in many respects if Phillip wasn't looking to put his 'stamp' on the family, it would have been chosen. [/quote]
