Overview
- Kensington Palace confirmed on Tuesday that Prince George will start at Eton College in September, ending months of public speculation about his secondary school.
- George has been at Lambrook School since 2022 and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are expected to remain there for now.
- Eton is an all‑boys boarding school near Windsor with annual fees of about £63,000 and a long history of educating British elites, including Prince William and Prince Harry.
- It is not yet known whether George will board full time at Eton, and the college’s close proximity to the family’s Forest Lodge home raises practical questions about travel and security arrangements.
- Public reaction was mixed but leaned toward private education, with a YouGov poll finding 49% of adults support private schooling for royal children, while single‑source reports of security upgrades at Eton remain limitedly sourced.
