Eton vs Marlborough | Which Boarding School Should Prince George Go To? | Piers Cross

Should Prince George follow his father to Eton College — or his mother to Marlborough College? Or should he avoid boarding altogether?In this episode, I explore the debate currently surrounding Prince William and Kate Middleton’s choice of school for their son, who has just turned 12. Drawing on stories from both Eton and Marlborough, as well as insights from neuroscience and decades of research into “boarding school syndrome,” I share why this decision carries far more weight than simply prestige or tradition.In this video, I cover:Kate Middleton’s difficult start at Down House and later move to MarlboroughPrince William’s experience at Eton, and Harry’s reflections in SpareAccounts of bullying, abuse, and emotional neglect from alumni of both schoolsWhy children under 16 should not board, based on attachment science and trauma researchFive neuroscience-backed reasons why boarding undermines leadership developmentWhy day schools close to home may provide healthier foundations for Prince GeorgeAs the next generation of leaders emerges, emotional intelligence, relationships, and secure attachments matter more than privilege or tradition.📚 Books & references mentioned include:Spare by Prince HarryWounded Leaders by Nick DuffellAntonio Damasio’s research on decision-making and emotionDibbe Onyema’s account of racial abuse at Eton👉 What do you think — Eton, Marlborough, or neither?
