ALL eyes are on where Prince George will be going to school next year, as Princess Kate has done numerous viewings of prospective locations.

While Princes William and Harry went to single-sex elite school Eton College, an expert has claimed that the Princess of Wales could be eyeing up a co-ed school for George, 11.

Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine told Fabulous: “I think he will probably go to a co-ed where all three of them can be educated together, because also that cuts hugely down the security bill. 

“I think Kate and William are very conscious of how much it costs the taxpayer to guard them – guard not being the exact word – but to kind of give them the security which they absolutely have to have. 

“To have three different schools in three different parts of the country, I think would be very difficult.”

The royal expert pointed out that Harry and William always went to school together, and said: “I feel very sure that this is what Kate and William will want to do.”

She added that she thinks the Prince and Princess of Wales will be looking for a “very rounded education for Prince George”, when he moves school at 13.

Ingrid explained: “He’s had a lot of formality in his young life, and I think they would probably want him to be certainly co-ed, I would think, and just somewhere where he’s free.”

The royal editor also predicted that William and Kate might send Prince George, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, to boarding school.

She added: “Boarding schools nowadays aren’t like one imagines the boarding schools of old. 

“They can come home whenever they want to. They can come home weekends if they’re not too busy playing sports. 

“But all the sports, the big sports, matches and things happen at weekends, so I imagine that, if Kate wants them to come home they could come home on Saturday afternoon.

“I think it’s very much more flexible than the idea of these very strict sort of Tom Brown School Days.”

Ingrid’s prediction was that Marlborough College, where Kate and siblings James and Pippa, went to school, could be an “obvious choice” for the kids.

Alternatively, if they do select single sex for George, Eton could be a front-runner.

She added: “I think Eton could potentially be in the running. It’s very near to Adelaide Cottage, although they may not stay there.”

Kate’s secret school tours

Ahead of the big move from Lambrook School, Princess Kate looked round two prospective elite London schools in December. 

One was single sex and one co-ed, suggesting the family are still keeping both options open.

The Princess of Wales first toured round the £10,000-a-term, “boldly academic”, single sex University College School (UCS) in Hampstead after term ended for the festive break.

The same week, Kate looked round co-ed Highgate School, located two miles away, which was closed for a “special VIP visitor”, according to the Mail.

Other options for George are said to be Oundle School in Northamptonshire and the elite St Edward’s School, also known as “Teddies” – which boasts Oppenheimer actress Florence Pugh as an alumna.

Despite Kate touring schools over 18 months in advance, Ingrid shared how the Wales family don’t need to make a rushed decision yet.

She explained: “It’s not like it would be you or me trying to get a child into a school, and we have to put their name down at birth.

“No one is going to say no to having Prince George in their school, so they don’t actually have to make up their mind until they’re absolutely sure.”

A FAMILY who left a bride in a vegetative state by allegedly force-feeding her pills when she “failed to meet their expectations” have been freed from jail.

Ambreen Fatima Sheikh suffered “irretrievable” brain damage when she fell unconscious ten years ago.

Husband Asgar Sheikh, 31, dad-in-law Khalid Sheikh, 55, and mum-in-law Shabnam Sheikh, 52, were last year jailed for a total of 23 years.

The trio were found guilty of causing or allowing a vulnerable adult to suffer serious physical harm following a trial.

But they have now been released from prison after the conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal.

Judges found the original case at Leeds Crown Court was “riddled with evidential difficulties”.

The family’s convictions for perverting the course of justice and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice were upheld.

Sister-in-law Shagufa, 29, who was handed a suspended sentence for causing or allowing a vulnerable adult to suffer serious physical harm, also had her conviction overturned.

The court previously how Ambreen arrived in the UK in 2014 as a well-educated “happy-go-lucky” young woman.

She had been flown in from Pakistan for an arranged marriage but was targeted by her new family because she had “not lived up to expectations” as a wife, it was said.

Although the family refused to give evidence, prosecutors suggested she was subjected to a “pattern of violence” behind closed doors.

She was socially isolated and her sister, who also lived in Britain, was threatened with death by Asgar when she came to visit.

Jurors heard he failed to call an ambulance for his wife for three days after she was effectively “tortured”.

On August 1, 2015, Shagufa Sheikh eventually raised the alarm – claiming her sister-in-law “couldn’t breathe properly”.

When paramedics arrived, they found Ambreen lying unconscious on the bed.

She was rushed to hospital where tests found swelling on her brain and a severe burn to her lower back.

Medics believed this was caused by “some form of caustic substance” around five to seven days before the horror.

This had caused an injury to her ear and marks on Ambreen’s toes suggested there had been a period of “prolonged immobility.”

Nurses also noted she was “malnourished” and “unkempt” in appearance, the court heard.

Prosecutor Robert Steen Smith said she had involuntarily ingested an anti-diabetic medication that caused hypoglycemia.

This in turn caused swelling of her brain and loss of consciousness, he added.

Ambreen, who was not diabetic, had also been left incontinent before she fell unconscious and had been vomiting.

Mr Smith said it was likely she had been cleaned up and placed in her sister-in-law’s room before the ambulance arrived.

Her own soiled clothing and bedding had been dumped in a wheelie bin outside the terraced house.

At first, police believed they would be dealing with a murder probe after Ambreen was placed on a life support machine.

When the machine was switched off, she was able to breathe but has remained in a vegetative state with no change in her condition since.

Officers quizzed all five family members who lived in the home but all of them closed ranks and refused to reveal what had happened.

Husband Asgar just told them: “I love my wife so much why would I hurt her?”

Asgar and his parents were each jailed for seven years and nine months.

EKIN-SU Culculoglu’s face appeared to betray her real feelings when the most popular Love Island contestants were announced in last night’s show.

The public voted for their favourite All Stars and host Maya Jama delivered the results ahead of a brutal dumping.

Elma Pazar and Luca Bish were crowned top girl and boy in front of their co-stars – though with that honour came a great responsibility.

They were tasked with eliminating three of the four lowest-scoring Islanders – eventually choosing Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie and Nas Majeed, while Tina Stinnes lived to love another day.

Many villa viewers have accused former winner Ekin-Su of playing a game ever since she arrived.

Her relationship with Curtis Pritchard has been called a “showmance”, while eyebrows have been raised over her constant meddling in other people’s drama.

When Elma was selected as the most popular girl, viewers sensed Ekin’s smile was fake and that she was actually surprised not to be chosen.

One person commented on X: “Ekin-Su just realised her plan ain’t working.”

Another said: “Ekin-Su in everyone business trying to position herself for the win. Nothing more.”

A third posted: “How was Ekin-Su not one of the least favourite girls?? I cannot stand her!!!”

Though three Islanders have departed, another two have arrived.

Sammy Root, who won series 10 with Jess Harding, and 2017 girl Danielle Sellers both made their entrance.

During his time in the villa, Sammy had a fling with Elma and an insider thinks they could build on that previous attraction.

A source said: “Elma has said the attraction with Sammy was nothing more than flirtation, as she’s conscious they have an age gap of nearly 10 years, but Love Island execs hope that under the South African sun, love could bloom.””

Charlene wrote: “There will be many of you who will aware of me talking about one of my oldest and best friends Darrell @djoptic and his mission to beat the enemy which is Sarcoma cancer.

“In the early hours of Saturday morning, four and a half years after he was diagnosed, after a week of saying goodbyes to those he loved, sharing stories and banter, he took his final breath surrounded by his wonderful wife @mrsamymcdonald and children Maya and Theo.”

The TV star continued: “He has been my brother since we met at 16 years old, I was the best man at his wedding, and god-mother to his eldest. The nonsense our little crew would get up to was hilarious back in the day, he was there for every milestone. My heart is broken into a million pieces.

“He was by far one of the kindest men I’ve ever met, and throughout his treatment he made it his mission to shine a light on Sarcoma alongside @sarcoma_uk in the hope no other family had to go through what he and his family went through: raising awareness, raising money, educating doctors. He was quite simply, amazing.”

Charlene praised her brother’s wife Amy, and also said she’d be returning to work because she “didn’t know what else to do.”

Charlene finished by writing: “Grief can sometimes just make you feel a little lost.

“Message your besties and let them know how much they are loved xx.”

Charlene’s Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford replied, writing: “I’m so sorry Charlene. Grief is sadly the price we pay for loss. You know you will be held and supported by everyone @loosewomen My condolences to Darrell’s family and sending you a massive hug.”

Coleen Nolan responded, saying: “So deeply sorry Charlene for the loss of your friend… thinking of you and sending a big hug… x.”

And Katie Piper said: “Sending you love .”

THIS is the heartbreaking first picture of the “beautiful” woman who was found dead in a house in Waterford city over the weekend.

Gillian Curran, originally from Tramore, is understood to have been staying in the house on O’Brien Street where her body was found.

The 47-year-old woman was found unresponsive at the residence shortly after 10am on Saturday and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

A 34-year-old man made no reply on Sunday when charged with the murder of Gillian.

He was remanded in custody by Judge Kevin Staunton with an order that he get medical and psychiatric attention and will appear before Waterford District Court next Tuesday via video link.

A death notice online told how Gillian, who is predeceased by her father Michael, died in “tragic circumstances”.

It added: “Deeply mourned by her loving and much loved mother Mary, Gillian will be sadly missed by her sisters Clodagh, Jenny, Tara, Erika and brother Michael and their families.

“She will be fondly remembered by her godfather Fr. Roddy Curran, her uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family and friends.”

Gillian will be laid to rest following a private funeral service and her family have said donations can be made in her memory to Women’s Aid or the Brill Family Resource Centre in Waterford.

Mourners have described Gillian as “kind, friendly sensitive and fun” in heartbreaking tributes to her following her tragic passing.

One said: “So sad to hear about Gillians passing on Saturday. What a tragic waste of a young bubbly girl.

“Gillian brightened every life she came in contact with. I feel so sorry for both families caught up in this sad tragedy.

“Hope you find peace in the afterlife Gillian. Rest easy.”

Another friend said: “My heartfelt condolences to all the Curran family at this unimaginable time.

“So many happy memories shared with beautiful Gillian.

She will be dearly missed.”

Brill Family Resource Centre

“She was kind, thoughtful, funny, beautiful and intelligent. A beautiful soul with an infectious laugh. You couldn’t but love her.”

A third pal described Gillian as a “beautiful person” who was “so highly thought of in Tramore”, whilst another mourner said: “Gillian had a lovely kind soul and always greeted me with a warm smile.”

Brill Family Resource Centre said: “On behalf of all of the management in Brill Frc, and especially her colleagues, we would like to convey our deep condolences to the family.

“Please know that Gillian was thought of very highly in BRILL Family Resource Centre and was very well liked. She will be dearly missed. We wish the family strength and send you love during this difficult time.”
