Kate Middleton is set to break an ancient royal rule which has existed for over 1,000 years.<\/p>\n
The Princess of Wales is keen to see her eldest son, the future King of England, George V, enlisted in a school which breaks from tradition. Future monarchs and Royal Family figureheads have always been sent to same-sex education bodies, which for obvious reasons has tended to be all-boys schools.<\/p>\n
But it would appear the long-standing rule which has been in place for 1,095 years could be coming to an end as Prince George, 10, looks set to follow in his mother's footsteps, snubbing a spot at St Andrews.<\/p>\n

Instead, the future King is set to head to Princess Kate's alma mater, Marlborough College. Attendance for Prince George at the co-ed school would see a longstanding tradition broken, and could make history according to one expert.<\/p>\n

Daniela Elser, writing in her column for news.com.au, claimed: "History could be about to be made, thanks to one simple detail \u2013 girls. George could become the first ever King, since the advent of the English throne with \u00c6thelstan in 927, to be educated the whole way through in a multiple-sex, and not same sex, environment."<\/p>\n
It would also see a continuation of a recent trend for monarchs receiving formalised education. The first monarch to standardise their learning was current King of England, Charles.<\/p>\n
Not even the late Queen Elizabeth II popped in to brush-up on her arithmetic, instead opting for a governess who taught her French and manners. Princess Kate, who attended the Marlborough College institute, is considered a "dark horse" for Prince George's attendance. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Expert Elser added: "If George is signed on to be a member of the class of 2031 he will be the first sovereign in the 956 years since Normans showed the Saxons what-for to be educated alongside not only boys but girls and maybe even non-binary teens. It would be a small step for a 13-year-old with an incipient fight on his hands with acne but a major step for the monarchy.<\/p>\n
"My point is, if William and Kate chose to not go down the centuries-old, tediously trodden, tired path chosen by the wealthy and the titled parents for their sons, and don\u2019t send George to Eton, instead choosing somewhere with a hint more diversity, they will be doing the kid a huge service."<\/p>\n
The school switch-up could come good for the young royal, whose parents were deemed to be raising the future King "in a wholly new way to every other future heir". <\/p>\n
