Prince George to Attend £63,000-a-Year Eton College From September

3 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Jun 16

Summary

  • Kensington Palace said Prince George will start at Eton College in September, when the second-in-line to the throne turns 13 next month.
  • £63,000-a-year Eton was chosen after months of speculation over his next school, with Marlborough College — attended by Catherine — among the options discussed.
  • The decision follows royal precedent: Prince William, Prince Harry and Earl Spencer all attended the Berkshire boarding school, where 20 British prime ministers studied.
  • George is leaving Lambrook School, where he studied with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as he is gradually taking on a more visible public role.
