Prince William and Kate Middleton’s school teacher admits to harassing minors

______________________________

A royal scandal is unfolding in London: last week, on November 6, the deputy director for educational work of the London school Thomas’s Battersea was arrested in his house, where the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton studied until this September, and education costs 20 thousand pounds sterling a year.

The teacher was accused of pedophilia. Moreover, the leadership of the educational institution found out about this only in the morning and informed the parents of the students. And today, the tabloid Daily Mail reported that on Wednesday, November 9, 34-year-old teacher Matthew Smith appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court. During the meeting, the man pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of children, as well as to the production and distribution of obscene images with minors.

According to the same publication, the crimes did not affect the students of a prestigious school. The identities of the victims are not publicly disclosed for their safety and privacy. But most importantly, the teacher was hired for this job after Prince George and Princess Charlotte transferred to another school near Ascot. Recall that Kate and William moved there with their children to be away from the bustle of the city.

Smith had previously worked in Nepal for five years, where he was Assistant Headmaster of the British School in Kathmandu. It is also known that he was educated at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

Recall that the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, studied at Thomas’s Battersea until August 2022. After that, the parents decided to relocate their Lambrook School in Berkshire to “provide them with the most comfortable family life possible away from the hustle and bustle of Central London”. This school year, 4-year-old Prince Louis, the youngest child of the spouses, went to the same school for the preparatory department.

Their Royal Highnesses are extremely grateful to Thomas Battersea School, where George and Charlotte successfully began their education in 2017 and 2019 respectively, and are delighted to have found a school for all three of their children that shares their ideals and values,” the official statement said. palace.
