As George, 11, approaches the end of his time at prep school, it is understood that he may follow in his father’s footsteps and attend Eton College when he turns 13, as opposed to his mother’s preferred choice of Marlborough College, an insider claimed to the MailOnline.

“And if we can keep on doing this all over the world, we’re going to make a very, very big difference to people reading books, children getting access to books – and it’s really thanks to Book Aid and all of you here who have made this possible. So thank you very much indeed.”

Meghan Markle will only return to UK ‘if she can have Kate’s job’

A royal expert has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex will only return to the UK if she can “take some of the jobs that Catherine has.”

This comes almost four years after she and Prince Harry moved to California after stepping down as working royals, citing a desire for privacy and to live a more independent life.

Royal biographer Angela Levin claimed that the duchess is “jealous” of the Princess of Wales and wants a “big house and lots of money”.

She told GB News: “Meghan is not going to come, except if she could take some of the jobs that Catherine has.

“She once complained that she thought it was shocking that they weren’t paid for each thing that they did. I think it would be a disaster.”
