Kate Middleton and family are about to face their most serious test yet: opinion

There was a day, circa 1066-1953, when all a future king needed to learn was how not to fall off his horse when addressing his troops and to develop a real taste for killing small birds. School and formal education, you see, were for people who would one day have “jobs” or would need to earn money, since their ancestors had the misfortune of not having colonized the subcontinent. (A holy cash cow?)

Sadly for Prince George, he was born at a time when the royal family has decided that raising their children “normally” was the plan, even though his 13 years of schooling will lead precisely nowhere. This is not a kid who is ever going to need to bother to attend a job fair.
