Prince Harry’s longstanding fear of being ‘overshadowed’ by Prince William’s children
The Duke of Sussex was “always concerned” his brother’s children would eclipse him, a royal biographer claims
rince Harry feared his brother Prince William’s three children would “overshadow” him, a royal biographer has claimed.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children – Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight – have grown up in the public eye, just like their uncle. But in recent months, the limelight has been on George in particular as he is set to embark on his secondary studies in September at a still undisclosed school.
Amid speculation over the young royal’s future education, royal biographer Andrew Morton alleges that the Duke of Sussex has long been concerned about his niece and nephews eclipsing him. “The issue that always concerned Prince Harry, that he would be overshadowed by his brother’s children, is coming true”, he claimed to the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential.
The biographer also weighed in on Oundle School in Northamptonshire as a potential pick for where the young royal could be studying next.

George’s school
Prince William recently revealed that his eldest son is currently boarding at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where he is completing his final year of studies before continuing his education at an undisclosed secondary school. George attends the co-educational preparatory school with his two siblings, who still have several years at the school to go.
There’s been much speculation as to whether the young royal will attend Eton College like his father, which has been a top contender, or go to the Princess of Wales’ Alma Mater, Marlborough College in Wiltshire.

Prince George will be starting secondary school soon
A big decision looming
While George’s secondary school has yet to be confirmed, Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide, told HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast that the Waleses could be “holding multiple places at different schools”.
When asked whether parents have to accept a place at a private school quickly and whether the process differs for the Waleses, Meanie told us: “Well, for ordinary people, they have to say ‘yes’ fairly quickly so their children would be accepted. Ordinary people who have been offered places would be accepting those places for secondary schools in the next few weeks.”
Though there’s not a “huge amount of time to accept” a school place, Melanie said she suspects “the normal rules possibly don’t apply” for the royals.
“I feel as though the Waleses may be holding multiple places at different schools. It sort of feels as though if they had made a definitive decision, somebody would know and it would be out there,” she explained.
