Kate Middleton is bracing for inevitable heartbreak after giving up her desire for royal tradition.
According to a report by weekly contact According to a source, the Princess of Wales and Prince William have been on bad terms since last year over their decision to send their eldest son, Prince George, to boarding school when he turns 13.
The royal family has been opposed to the idea of the future king following in the royal family's footsteps and continuing his high school studies at Eton College.
It will be a bigger blow than ever for Kate, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year.
But the Prince of Wales is said to have gone out of his way to preserve the centuries-old tradition, despite Kate's earnest wishes.
“Kate has long had differences of opinion with her husband, even though it is tradition for her to send him away,” a source told the publication at the time.
“Kate feels that sending her to such a stuffy, upper-class institution goes against all efforts to modernize the monarchy,” they explained.
“Besides, she will miss George dearly. She and William argued about it for years, but he finally won.”
The insider continued: “But she was still heartbroken. She had been bullied horribly at her first boarding school and couldn't bear the thought of George suffering because of it.”
“But her family still appears to be falling apart. There are also worries that William will insist on sending his other two children next. Kate knows this is all part of her 'royal duty'.” they added.
