its a very old postGrandDuchess said:
but are you sure about that? Lundsberg and Enskilda Gymnasiet yes, but I think Smedslättskolan and Ålstenskolan are completely normal schools. They are located in "good" areas but other than that I dont think theres anything special with them.

Queen Beatrix:
In Canada, Princess Beatrix attended nursery and primary school. On her return to the Netherlands, she continued her primary education at The Workshop (De Werkplaats), Kees Boeke’s progressive school in Bilthoven. In April 1950, Princess Beatrix entered the Incrementum, part of the Baarns Lyceum, where she passed her school-leaving examinations in arts subjects and classics in 1956.
In the same year, the Princess enrolled as a student at Leiden University. She was also an active member of the Leiden Women Students’ Association. In her first years at university, she attended lectures in sociology, jurisprudence, economics, parliamentary history and constitutional law. Later she also attended lectures on the cultures of Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles, the Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, international affairs, international law, history and European law.
While at university, the Princess visited various European and international organisations in Geneva, Strasbourg, Paris and Brussels. In the summer of 1959, she passed her preliminary examination in law, and obtained her degree in July 1961.
The late Prince Claus:
Prince Claus originally wanted to study mechanical engineering, but as the German universities were overcrowded and priority was being given to older candidates, he was unable to enrol in 1947. He therefore began the year's work experience placement which was prescribed as part of the university course, taking a job at an engineering works at Winsen/Luhe, near Hamburg. At the end of 1948, however, he decided to enrol in the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Hamburg. He sat his first law examination (Referendar) in 1952 and his second (Assessor) in September 1956, after having gained the necessary practical experience in a number of law courts and in a firm of lawyers in Hamburg. During this period he went on a four-month study trip to the United States.

After completing his military service, the Prince enrolled as a history student in the Arts Faculty of Leiden University in 1987. This gave the Prince a wide-ranging knowledge of a broad spectrum of subjects, including general and Dutch history, economic history, political science and constitutional law, EC law, international law, human rights and economics.

The late Queen Juliana:
A small class was formed at Huis ten Bosch Palace on the advice of the educationalist Jan Ligthart so that, from the age of six, the Princess could receive her primary education with children of her own age.
As the Constitution specified that she was to be ready to succeed to the throne by the age of eighteen, Princess Juliana's education proceeded at a faster pace than that of most children.

From 1927 to 1930, the Princess attended lectures at Leiden University. During this time she lived with a number of other women students in Katwijk. She chose her subjects partly to prepare her for her duties as Head of State, and partly to satisfy her personal interest in literature and religion.

In addition to having been raised in a rather sheltered way (apart from non-aristocratic children), Queen Elizabeth was forced to spend a large part of her growing up years at Windsor Castle due to fears about her security during World War II. Even if her parents had had the inclination to put her in a boarding school (or a local school for the elite), they probably would have been discouraged by security experts.

I'm currently reading Princess Margaret's official biography, and it states that (as iowabelle has already said) Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were forced to grow up at Windsor.
However, it also states that Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) once confided to a friend that she wished her daughters had been able to attend a 'normal' school with other children, but Queen Mary disagreed and influenced her decision to appoint a governess.

Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice began her education at Upton House School, Windsor in 1991. From there she and her sister were enrolled at Coworth Park School in Windlesham, Surrey in 1994. Princess Beatrice is currently attending an all-girls school, St. George's School in Ascot, Berkshire, enrolled under the name "Beatrice York." There had been plans to send her to Aiglon College in Switzerland; however, a sex scandal involving the headmaster forced her parents to reconsider. [1] In March 2005, her mother revealed that Beatrice suffers from mild dyslexia and has needed special help with reading and writing in the run-up to her GCSE exams. [2]
In the GCSE examinations that she took in the summer of 2005 (a year later than usual, due to her dyslexia), she achieved A* grades for history and drama, A grades for French and art, and B grades for English literature, English language, mathematics and dual award science.
The Princess takes an active interest in her school community. She sings soprano in the school choir. In May 2006, according to The Royalist, Beatrice was elected to the position of head girl at St. George's School where she is currently studying for her A Levels. A school spokesperson is quoted on The Royalist website as saying: 'This year the school has elected Princess Beatrice of York to be head girl and we are delighted that she has accepted the position.'
Is Princess Beatrice a boarding student like Princess Eugenie or still a day girl at St George's School?

No. Working parents having no time, etc. They wanted me to have a decent Catholic upbringing, good education, etc. So I was placed in a boarding school lead by sisters (primary school) and fathers (secondary school).
It was the time of my life. There still are many of these boarding schools in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Let's remember that this thread is to discuss the boarding schools of royals. If members who attended boarding school would like to discuss their experiences, they should do so in the Members' Corner. Thank you.

Prince Rainier III attended Stowe School in the UK. He attended a prep school also in the UK but I forgot the name. As the tale goes, he deplored his entire experience and spent the better part writing home to beg his parents allowance to go home to Monaco.
Prince Charles attended Cheam School, which is now Cheam-Hawtreys, a merger of two prep schools that were distinct in his day. As stated already, he went onto Gordonstoun. Don't forget about the school in Australia, Geelong, it was a boarding school, although I guess the kids were camping out in the bush, chopping wood, and kangaroo-watching -- or else according to Prince Charles in the Dimbleby biography, dodging headhunting clans.... oh well, the headhunters were in Papau New Guinea....
As well as Riddlesworth Hall and West Heath, Diana attended a Swiss finishing school near Gstaad, Institut Alpin Videmanette (sp?) something or other.
Prince Andrew and Prince Edward attended Heatherdown prep school and Gordonstoun. Viscount Linley also attended Heatherdown I think, but he went onto Bedales for public school. Apparently, Bedales is very artsy, I don't know. I just remember reading that his father hoped he would attend Eton, but he felt better suited in the freer environment of Bedales.
The Earl of Snowdon did in fact attend Eton College.
Captain Mark Phillips was a Marlborough man.
