Some royals actually preferred to study in schools in the own countries. Some in public or private schools.

But in the past, majority of the royals were really into boarding schools.

Queen Sophia was student in Salem/Germany:

http://www.salemcollege.de/E0_00.html (english version)

Speech of her Majesty in 2000:

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,

When I received from Salem an invitation to take part in the opening

ceremony for the Salem International College, I accepted gladly. To my

great regret, however, I have had to withdraw again at short notice, for

the opening in Barcelona of the 3rd International Forum on Microenterprise

has been arranged for the same date. This I have to attend, having been

President of the Forum since its inception.

As an ex-pupil of Salem, however, I could not not let the day go by without

sending you my greetings and my very best wishes for the future. At Schule

Schloss Salem I received an excellent education; it remains with me today,

and I treasure my memories of it. My involvement in the Committee of the

United World Colleges shows how dear to my heart are Kurt Hahn's ideas on

the education of young people, worldwide, in the spirit of responsibility,

tolerance and personal understanding, above the diverse cultures of

different countries, regardless of frontiers. Schools like Salem, advancing

courageously along this path, deserve every encouragement.

I wish all of you, gathered together today at Salem, a wonderful day. And

for the International College, I can hope for no more than that it will

maintain the high reputation the name of Salem has deservedly gained over

the years for a long time to come.

Sophie R.

Also Prince Andrew and Prince Edward attended Gordonstoun.

I'm surprised that its royal pupils aren't mentioned on the site.
