A royal author has detailed Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s reported agreement for their kids. The revelation comes as their eldest, Prince George, prepares to start at Eton College in September. The decision aims to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible, despite their future role in the monarchy.
Royal author shares the reported agreement Prince William and Kate Middleton have planned for their kids
Prince and Princess of Wales plan to uphold a “gentleman’s agreement” with their three children. They are determined to make sure that the private lives of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis remain unaffected by media coverage.
According to royal author Simon Vigar, the royal couple will reportedly use stringent protocols to protect their children’s potential future partners. They are likely to follow the same privacy agreements that safeguarded their own relationship while studying at St Andrews University.
In the early days of their relationship, the Prince and Princess of Wales benefited from a media blackout. It let them concentrate on both their studies and their relationship without media intrusion.
In an exclusive conversation with GB News, Vigar said, “The University of St Andrews was great for William and Catherine; the British media should get some credit here. The Gentleman’s Agreement to leave William alone at university did hold, and of course, it was a camera crew from a TV company owned by his uncle Edward – that was the only one that actually broke it.”
“In terms of when George, Charlotte and Louis complete university, once they’re in their 20s, I think it’ll be a similar deal, and privacy law is changing all the time. There will be similar conversations,” suggested the writer.
Prince William has previously made clear he wants to protect his family from media scrutiny. In an October 2025 interview, he vowed to protect his children from the privacy invasions he and Kate Middleton endured. In 2007, dozens of photographers turned up at her London apartment on the then-royal girlfriend’s 25th birthday.
