Prince Harry feared that his brother Prince William's three children would "overshadow" him, a royal biographer claims.
The Prince and Princess of Wales' three children—12-year-old Prince George, 11-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 8-year-old Prince Louis—have grown up in the public eye, like their uncle. But in recent months, George has taken center stage, as he is set to begin school at an undisclosed secondary school in September.
Amid speculation about the young royal's future education, royal biographer Andrew Morton claims the Duke of Sussex has long been concerned that his niece and nephews could overshadow him. "The worry that has always troubled Prince Harry—that he would be overshadowed by his brother's children—is coming true," he told the Daily Mail's Palace Confidential.
The biographer also expressed his opinion about Oundle School in Northamptonshire as a possible place for the young princess's further education.

George's School
Prince William recently announced that his eldest son is currently attending Lambrook Boarding School in Berkshire, where he is completing his final year before continuing his education at an undisclosed secondary school. George attends this co-educational preparatory school with his two siblings, who still have several years left to attend.
There was much speculation about whether the young prince would go to Eton College, like his father, who was considered a leading contender, or to the Princess of Wales's alma mater, Marlborough College in Wiltshire.

An important decision is approaching.
While the specific secondary school George will attend has not yet been confirmed, Melanie Sanderson, editor-in-chief of The Good Schools Guide, told HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast that Welsh could "take up multiple places at different schools.".
When asked whether parents should quickly accept a place at a private school and whether the process is different for Welsh residents, Meaney replied, "Well, ordinary people have to say 'yes' quite quickly for their children to be accepted. Ordinary people who have been offered a place will have to confirm their acceptance to the secondary school within the next few weeks.".
While there isn't much time to make a school admissions decision, Melanie said she suspects "the normal rules may not apply to members of the royal family.".
«"I think the Welsh family may have multiple places at different schools. It seems likely that if they had made a final decision, someone would have known about it and the information would have spread," she explained.
