Kate Middleton, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation in a British clinic, is "heartbroken" after a dispute with Prince William regarding their family's future, according to The Mirror.
Why Kate and William argued
According to a royal insider, Kate Middleton is "heartbroken" after an argument with her husband over where their eldest son, Prince George, should attend secondary school.
As is well known, 41-year-old William and his brother, 39-year-old Prince Harry, attended Eton College, which was a break from the older generation's tradition since their ancestors (including their father, King Charles III) attended the international boarding school Gordonstoun, located in the Scottish village of Duffus.
William now wants his son to also attend Eton when the boy reaches the appropriate age, and 41-year-old Kate is, to put it mildly, not thrilled with this decision.
However, the reason is not a desire to return to royal traditions.

It is claimed that the princess does not want to send George to the prestigious boys' boarding school because she was "horribly bullied at her first boarding school."
"Kate can't bear the thought of George suffering through that," the insider claims.
It is known that Middleton attended the girls' boarding school Downe House in Berkshire, which she hated and eventually left mid-term.
She later transferred to the state Marlborough College in Wiltshire, where she remained until the end of her studies.
This is the very institution where Kate envisions her son’s future education.
"Kate thinks sending George to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy," a palace source says.

It is said that this issue is a major problem within the Welsh family, and the couple have spent hours arguing over the decision.
Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending their son to Eton, but it seems William has won the argument.
Notably, as of now, tuition at Eton College costs about $56,000 a year, while at Marlborough College it costs about $21,000 per term.
Currently, Kate Middleton is in a London clinic and has to maintain contact with her children - 10-year-old Prince George, 8-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 5-year-old Prince Louis - only via FaceTime. At the same time, the children are finding it very difficult that their mother is not with them.
