However Oundle School in north Northamptonshire is now a front runner, reported.

The independent co-educational establishment, founded in 1556, costs between £22,350 and £45,435-a-year.

The reads: "We encourage aspiration and abhor arrogance, nurturing open minds, authentic self-belief and a sense of service."

The school also claims that it produces pupils who are "Climate Champ-ions".

"We have a responsibility to ensure that every single member of the school community takes both individual and collective action towards environmental sustainability," Oundle says.

William and his brother Prince Harry both attended single-sex boarding school Eton, which costs £16,666-a-term.

Meanwhile Kate Middleton went to the exclusive Marlborough College between 1996 and 2000.

The royals were spotted taking a tour of Kate's old mixed-sex private £47,000-a-year school in December.

But the Waleses' are said to be concerned that Marlborough has become "too flashy".

"The 2024 version of Marlborough may be quite different from how Kate remembers it," a source told MailOnline.

"It's become a little more jet-set. Lots of parents have villas in Ibiza, chalets in Verbier or a private jet, which isn't Kate's style. She prefers understated wealth."

They added: "Kate wants a school that suits all of her children and keeps them grounded."

George, 10, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all currently attend Lambrook, a co-educational day prep school.

Sending George to Oundle would allow both his siblings to join their brother at the same school.

The Sun has approached Oundle and Kensington Palace for comment.
