Prince George is set to attend Eton College in the fall, following in his dad Prince William’s footsteps.
“Kensington Palace can confirm that Prince George will attend Eton College from this September,” a spokesperson told People on Tuesday.
William attended the prestigious school from 1995 to 2000. Prince Harry enrolled in 1998 and graduated in 2003.
Eton college is an all-boys boarding school in Berkshire, England. It was founded in 1440 and is the largest boarding school in England.
Other notable alumni includes 20 British Prime Ministers.
George — who will turn 13 next month — had been attending Lambrook School in Ascot with his two younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 12, and Prince Louis, 8.
Before that, George and Charlotte were both educated alongside each other at Thomas’s Battersea in London.
Similarly to his father, George is in direct line to succeed to the British throne.
William, 44, is next in the line of succession to the throne after his father, King Charles III, was coronated on May 6, 2023.
However, William and his wife, Kate Middleton, allegedly “delayed” telling their eldest son that he would one day be the King of England to protect his childhood.
“[George] really has had a period of a normal childhood,” Royal biographer Robert Lacey told People last year.
“It shows special care and thoughtfulness,” Lacey said, adding, “It also tells us something about how William felt about the weight of the crown.”
Sources have claimed that William may push off bestowing George with the Prince of Wales title if the child doesn’t complete finishing school before he becomes the next heir.
“They would want him to focus on having freedom before giving him any royal titles,” a palace source told the magazine.
