Prince William, Kate Middleton face 'Sussex circus' as Prince George prepares for Eton: expert

While Prince William and Princess Kate's attention is focused on Prince George's approaching move to Eton, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's return to the U.K. could introduce a new source of family tension, according to royal experts.

George, 13, is expected to begin at Eton College this month, marking a major milestone for the Prince and Princess of Wales as their eldest child prepares to leave home for boarding school.

The occasion comes as Harry and Meghan have returned to the U.K. with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

However, according to royal experts, the couple is expected to avoid making public comments or releasing photos that could overshadow George's first day.

PRINCE WILLIAM, KATE MIDDLETON COULD SEEK 'GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT' TO PROTECT PRINCE GEORGE AT ETON: EXPERTS Still, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digital that the Sussexes' presence could create an unpredictable wave of emotions for the Wales family during an already trying time.

"I have tremendous sympathy for the Prince and Princess of Wales," Schofield said.

"Prince George is expected to start at Eton on September 8, which means this was their last Scottish summer holiday together before their teenage son leaves home for his first term at boarding school." PRINCE WILLIAM, KATE MIDDLETON WRESTLED WITH MAJOR DECISION OVER PRINCE GEORGE'S FUTURE: EXPERT "That is a huge emotional milestone for any family, and instead of being able to quietly enjoy that time together, Harry and Meghan have brought the circus back to town," she added.

Schofield said William and Kate may be forced to navigate the media attention surrounding Harry and Meghan while trying to maintain privacy for their children.

"Harry and Meghan have a history of making their own plans, generating enormous media attention and operating outside the traditional royal structure." "Now William and Catherine are sending their eldest child away from home for the first time while simultaneously having to navigate the Sussexes' return and all of the uncertainty surrounding it," she added.
