Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their baby in the Spring. Royal Family children are generally sent to very expensive fee paying schools. It is likely Meghan and Harry’s children will be no different. What school might the baby be sent to when they reach age?
Eton College
If Meghan and Harry have a boy, they could attend Eton.
All pupils at Eton board at the school, which has a long history. It even has a glossary so that students can understand some of the strange words used there.
This includes called a teacher a “beak” and referring a weekly meeting with their tutor as “private business”.
Eton’s current fees for the next academic year are a £2,100 joining fee.
Then parents will pay £13,556 per term or £54,224 a year.
If their child wants to study 60 minutes of a music a week it will add £620 a term to their fees.
In total the basic fees along will cost £379,568 for Harry and Meghan’s child to attend from year 13 to year 18.
Gordonstoun
This is a mixed school, which was the traditional school to send royal children to, before Princess Diana sent Harry and William to Eton.
Will Meghan and Harry return to tradition with this boarding school in Scotland, where Prince Charles attended?
This school is also incredibly pricey. The junior school (from year 2 to year 8) costs £7,786 a term for boarding, or £31,144.
The whole of junior school would cost the royal parents £218,008.
Years 9 to 12 cost £11,500 a term for boarding, £46,000 a term, and £184,000 for the whole four years.
Two years of sixth from will cost £25,530.
From from year 2 to year 13 parents will spend £458,682.
Marlborough College
Is hotly tipped to be the school where Kate Middleton will send Prince George.
Rebecca English for the Daily Mail claimed “friends” revealed Kate and William’s plans for their eldest son’s schooling.
Kate and William have discussed sending George to £12,605-a-term Marlborough, rather than £13,556-a-term Eton.
The boarding fee for Marlborough is £37,815 a year.
Beadles
Of course, there is always a chance Meghan and Harry could pick something very different for their child. LA actress Meghan might prefer a school with a hippy vibe.
Beadles was founded to focus on “the individual child’s educational welfare and happiness.”
Lily Allen was sent to this school, as was Kirstie Allsop and Daniel Day-Lewis.
There is a £1,200 deposit for boarding students on acceptance.
Then parents must pay £36,285 per year.
