Princess Charlotte, just 10 years old, may be heading to a prestigious new school that comes with fees ranging from £15,000 to £20,000 per term, and speculation is already surrounding her next educational move. Is she on track for Wellington College, or will the royal family surprise us all? 👑
Princess Charlotte currently attends Lambrook School with her siblings, Prince George and Prince Louis, but the school only caters to children until the age of 13. With her transition coming soon, the royal family has kept the details under wraps—leaving royal watchers eagerly awaiting news of where Charlotte will go next.
Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide, shared on HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast that Wellington College is a strong contender. She said, “I’ve been told Wellington is a possible school for Princess Charlotte. I suspect the royals are holding multiple places at different schools, as they often do.”
Located near the Waleses’ family home on the Windsor Estate, Wellington College is known for its academic excellence and its 400-acre grounds. The school’s fees for day pupils are £15,250 per term, while boarders pay £20,750 per term. 
Could Princess Charlotte join her brother Prince Louis at a co-ed school like Wellington? Sanderson speculated that this could be a logical decision for the royal couple, given that Charlotte and Louis are close in age and would benefit from being at the same school.
As the royal family faces mounting questions about their children’s schooling, the speculation is only growing—especially after Prince George’s own future school plans were raised. While sources have hinted that all roads may lead to Eton for George, it seems Wellington College might be the perfect fit for Princess Charlotte.
In addition to Wellington College, Princess Charlotte’s future schooling could involve Marlborough College, the alma mater of her mother, Kate. However, with both prestigious options on the table, the royal family remains tight-lipped about their decisions. 
Eton, where Prince William was educated, is still reportedly the ‘clear front-runner’ for George, despite leadership changes at the school. Sources have revealed the royal couple’s uncertainty after headmaster Simon Henderson took a leave of absence, leading them to explore other options.
Meanwhile, the £60,000-a-year Marlborough College, which has produced celebrities such as Princess Eugenie, has also been suggested for George’s future.
With all eyes on George’s upcoming school decision, the royal family’s schooling choices have captured public attention. Expect a royal announcement soon as parents across the UK wait for news on whether the young prince will follow in his father’s footsteps at Eton, or if Charlotte will set a different path entirely at Wellington College
