Prince George to attend Eton College from September

Key Points:

• Prince George will attend Eton College starting in September, following in the footsteps of his father, the Prince of Wales, with fees around £63,000 per year.
• Eton, a historic private boarding school founded in the 15th century, is known for educating 20 British prime ministers and notable figures, including Prince George’s uncle Prince Harry and great uncle Earl Spencer.
• The decision to send George to Eton, rather than a state school or other private options like Marlborough College, reflects his parents’ view that it best prepares him for life as a modern working royal.
• The announcement sparked debate on social media, with some questioning why the future king isn’t attending a state school, while others defended the choice due to security and the unique demands of his public role.
• Prince George, who will turn 13 next month, has been gradually introduced to public duties and was recently seen with his family at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London.
