The royal source told In Touch Weekly, per GB News that Kate Middleton is "heartbroken" and that the couple had "argued" about sending their kids to boarding school for years.

The insider claimed: "Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it's tradition."

The sources further claimed, "Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy. Plus, she'll miss George desperately."

The fresh claims came as Kate Middleton is set to celebrate her 42nd birthday with family on Tuesday, January 9.
