Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince George will begin his studies at Eton College starting this September. This decision aligns with the educational path taken by his father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry. George, currently 12 years old, made a recent family appearance at the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Eton College, located a few miles from the Waleses' Windsor residence, is one of the world's most famous and prestigious schools. Admission is highly competitive, with annual fees amounting to £63,298. The institution is known for fostering self-reliance and leadership among its students.
Prince William attended Eton, a choice that was a notable departure from royal tradition at the time. He enrolled in 1995, with Prince Harry joining a few years later in 1998. Both brothers were boarders at Manor House during their time there.
Prince George is currently a pupil at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where he boards alongside his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Eton's alumni include prominent figures such as actors Tom Hiddleston and Eddie Redmayne, and former Prime Minister David Cameron.
