Washington Post interview with George

Really good interview with George with some very good, and new, interesting facts

     Unfortunately I do not subscribe but it has come up on my phone (?) and hopefully someone else will be able to share it 


     Small spoiler: the developments at the LA House including the staircase have been built for the benefit of his parents etc.
     And they're likely to be moving to France..........

try this....   it is a very long article.

Oh, thank you, Pigpen. 

Yes it is. But it's also opening up a bit about some stuff that's quite interesting too.

Oh thank you. I have not read any articles with new info in so long. I'm kind of heartbroken to read they will probably be settling in France. I don't know why. I guess I'm afraid we won't see as much if him in the press if he's there!

Well, we'll see. The house here is quite close to Amal's mother - and Amal went to a local school near here so I'm not sure he would necessarily sell up completely given how close Sonning is to many film studios.
 

But if he wants to wind down (and keep warm!) France would be a great option and he's got the odd private plane wherever he is. Amal speaks fluent French - and I can't help thinking that it would help the children's privacy to be in the French countryside. And the house is beautiful.....


He has many options!

Another revelation is when he said, "Nothing rolls off my back." As frequently as he jokes around and pokes fun at himself, I always assumed he took everything in stride.

I really can't imagine George taking his kids to a dance class, either....unless it's a private dance class. It would be pandemonium for the local moms. Lol.

I always wonder how they socialize their children? If they have lots of friends?? It's not like they can go to the local park and play with random kids or join a community sports team. Unless the nanny takes them and remains incognito.

The kids will be school aged next year. I wonder if France is where they will go to school?

Mm, well if they've been in the UK they would have started full time school here last September, not this, so they would already have done a year. 

   Maybe they have tutors instead. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were friends with the Krasinski and Cohen children who have similar backgrounds and ages.

I think the two main concerns in choosing schooling for the kids are security and flexibility. There are private schools that cater to children of celebrities and diplomats and such, that can accommodate the scheduling and security concerns G&A might have - or - they could go the tutor/home school route. If they can find someone really good it can work quite well.

Yep. I rather suspect that the latter is happening already given the current travelling they are doing. The routine of it also helps with stability I think...

They do have a nanny, so maybe she's tutoring the kids. It would make it easier if whoever it was  was someone they were used to who could travel with them
