Will Prince George follow William and Harry to Eton?

 

Prince George will not be starting secondary school in September, despite turning 11 this summer.

He presently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire, alongside his siblings Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Unlike many public schools, Lambrook accepts pupils up to the age of 13, or Year 8.

As a consequence, George still has two years left at his current school. His future school is the subject of much speculation, but Kensington Palace has kept its intentions a secret. Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, has suggested a "very likely" alternative for William and Kate.

Seward stated, "They will have their choice of colleges, and they may look at as many as they want, and they do not have to make a decision nearly as soon as anybody else would. So they have the advantage."

The three most active royal dynasties attended a variety of prestigious institutions, including Eton College in Windsor, Marlborough College in Wiltshire, and Gordonstoun in Moray, Scotland.

However, the Waleses have been coveting a spot for George in the former, implying that he would follow in the footsteps of both his father and uncle, Prince Harry.

According to Seward, the Prince and Princess of Wales have "looked at Eton".

However, the editor of Majesty Magazine said that Kate "probably doesn't want him to go to boarding school at all, and it's possible that he won't".

She then on, "But that's what makes Eton appear quite plausible, since it's so close to where they live.

"Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte will still be at their current school, and when and if George gets into Eton, which of course he will, he will just be down the road from them."

Seward said that another proximity-based benefit of sending George to Eton may be the enlargement of the Waleses' security detail from neighboring Lambrook, where taxpayer-funded agents protect him and his siblings.

William and Kate have also been spotted visiting the latter's former haunt Marlborough twice in the last two months, and rumors have circulated about St Edward's School in Oxford.

Though Seward claimed "the world is their oyster" when it comes to picking a school, adding that no institution in the country would dare to turn down the royals.

However, in order to get admission to any conceivable private educational institution, George will be required to sit for selective entrance tests.
