Britain’s Prince George to enroll at Eton, following in his father’s footsteps

Kensington Palace has officially announced that Prince George, the son of the Prince of Wales, will enroll at the prestigious Eton College starting this September. This decision sees the 12-year-old prince following in the educational footsteps of his father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry, both of whom are alumni of the elite institution.

Currently a student at Lambrook School in Berkshire, Prince George will transition to the renowned all-boys boarding school, which is located conveniently close to the family's Windsor home. Eton College, founded in 1440, is celebrated for educating many of Britain's future leaders and has an annual fee reportedly around £63,000.

The announcement concludes months of speculation regarding the future king's secondary education, with Marlborough College, his mother Princess Catherine's alma mater, also considered as an option. The choice highlights a continuation of royal tradition while also balancing proximity to family and ensuring the prince's privacy.
