The Prince and Princess of Wales are currently contemplating the difficult question of where to send Prince George to secondary school.
And it appears a new institution is in the running after The Daily Mail revealed Kate, 42, and Prince William, 41, have been to take a look at £47,000-a-year 'Teddies', as St Edward's School in Oxford is known.
The Princess underwent 'successful' planned abdominal surgery more than three weeks ago and is currently resting at her Windsor home of Adelaide Cottage, so it's unclear when exactly the royal couple looked around.
'They've been to have a look,' a Teddies grandee said.
The co-educational institution, founded in 1863 by the Reverend Thomas Chamberlain, boasts a gifted headmaster, Alastair Chirnside.
As an Oxford undergraduate he took a Congratulatory First — conferred perhaps only once in a decade for exceptional brilliance — in Classics and French, and also won a Half-Blue for rowing in Oxford's lightweight crew.
The school's impressive alumni include Dambusters leader Guy Gibson and fellow RAF legend Douglas Bader, as well as actor Laurence Olivier and Oppenheimer star Florence Pugh.
On its website, the headteacher highlights the school's 'spirit of inclusion' and its 'ethos of collaboration'.
He adds: 'There must be opportunity for all to take part and for all to excel. Children's happiness and their ability to recognise what will make them happy are more important than anything else.'
Speaking on the school's philosophy, Mr Chirnside says: 'Education is a profoundly personal enterprise, founded on good relationships and most successful when teachers and pupils can chart their course.
'That philosophy has driven St Edward's recent success, and it will provide the foundation for the school's future.'
The educational institution boasts 100 'glorious' acres in the north of Oxford, which includes a golf course and a boat house.
