Would they attend an independent specialist school or have a private tutor?

There are expensive private schools in the UK for the mentally-challenged. Such a child would likely attend one of them. They'd offer more professional staff and of course more opportunities for social development than a private tutor would.
Martin, the Queen's mentally challenged cousins were not royals -- they were members of her mother's family -- and neither the Queen nor her mother was at all responsible for their placement. The decisions made all those years ago were typical of the era but not of the education of the mentally disabled today.
Edit: Since one of the late Princess of Wales's godchildren -- Domenica Lawson, niece of well-known chef Nigella Lawson -- has Down Syndrome, I did a little research to find out how she's been educated. Her parents initially sent her to a state primary school and then to the same private Catholic school that her normal older sister attended. She has been accompanied to class by an aide. The royals might choose such "mainstreaming" themselves rather than a school specifically for the mentally challenged.

I would imagine the child would be privately tutored,this was certainly the case with "Prince John " son of George V and Mary of Teck .

Technically, probable no longer. yet because they have the type of large volume of commitments and engagements, they do no longer have time to be comprehensive-time moms. Even Diana engaged a nanny through her commitments, although she did destroy with royal protocol by technique of taking her little ones inclusive of her at the same time as they were tiny. at the same time as they were older, they had to flow to school, so vacationing round might want to have interefered with their preparation.

I don't think they would have a private tutor. Why should the child be hidden and kept from other children's company?

Private tutor, most likely. They probably wouldn't want people to know if their child had any breakdowns.

You should check out a documentary called The Queens Hidden Cousins. Quite fascinating and should answer your question.

It depends very much on the nature of their disability, special schools tend to cater for different disabilities and therefore what is right for one child may not be right for another.

I believe this would be a matter for the state to determine.
