The Queen and Prince Philip sent Prince Charles to a public school rather than use tutors. Prince Charles and Diana sent William and Harry to Eton. I can see William and Catherine setting out a new path, too.

There are varying degrees of private school. There are those which cost as low as 5000/year which is do able for lower income families with sacrifices and hard work. Then there are schools like Wetherby which three terms is about equally the average annual income in London. With only two scholarships, which are in the upper schools and split between several schools, there is also no financial aid..
I do not believe there are any private schools in central London that offer education, even at the primary level, for around c£5,000 a year. Are you able to provide some examples?
I take it that the information on the school I found in London doesn't apply then?
I know things are different in the UK than in the States but here we do deem parochial schools as private schools with higher tuition and acceptance policies.
Wetherby has a sister school, Pembridge, which would be a good possibility.Very amusing!!
I know many of William and Harry's longterm friends stem from their school days, do any go back as far as Wetherby?
This is a boys school so Charlotte will go elsewhere. What likely facilities are there nearby for her?
Where did the York girls attend?
