Prince George, 13, is set to begin his education at Eton College, a renowned British boarding school with a long history of educating members of the royal family and notable public figures. The school has been attended by Prince George’s father, the Prince of Wales, and his uncle, the Duke of Sussex, both of whom studied there. Prince George previously attended Lambrook School, a private preparatory school in Berkshire, which was also attended by his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8. William and his wife, Kate, were reportedly seen touring Eton with their eldest son in 2023, which led to speculation that the school was a top choice for Prince George’s education. The press were allowed to document William’s first day at Eton with his parents, Charles and Diana, the then Prince and Princess of Wales, and his younger brother, Harry. The family was photographed as the new pupil signed in on September 6, 1995, marking the beginning of William’s time at the school. Eton College is one of the most prestigious and famous schools in the world, known for its emphasis on developing leadership skills and self-reliance. Students are required to take on many non-academic responsibilities, such as managing school events and duties. Admission is highly competitive, with boys undergoing rigorous tests. The annual fee is around £63,298, and the school’s reputation often carries more weight than the academic qualifications of its graduates. Among Eton’s famous alumni are actors like Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Eddie Redmayne, as well as former British Prime Ministers, including David Cameron. Other notable names include writer George Orwell, novelist Ian Fleming, and adventurer Bear Grylls. The school’s influence extends far beyond the classroom, shaping the careers and lives of many influential individuals. The King, who attended Gordonstoun, a school in the Scottish Highlands also attended by his father, the late Duke of Edinburgh, described his time there as "a prison sentence." However, he credited the experience with instilling self-discipline and a strong sense of responsibility, values that are also emphasized at Eton.
