Where will Prince George go to school?
It was originally thought that Prince George would attend the prestigious Wetherby School, but the Sunday Express has revealed that he will in fact go to a new off-shoot of the school’s named Wetherby Kensington.
A source revealed: “The Duke and Duchess like the idea of George enrolling at the new smaller school because it is much more discreet than the original Wetherby.
“A few of the pupils at that school in Notting Hill are the children of celebrities so it has always attracted quite a lot of paparazzi.
