William and Kate enroll Prince George at Eton College

Kensington Palace announced that the Prince and Princess of Wales have decided to send their eldest son, 12-year-old Prince George, to the prestigious Eton College. His father, Prince William, attended the same school in his youth.

Kensington Palace revealed on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, that Prince George will study at one of England's most prestigious independent schools, Eton College. The Prince and Princess of Wales made the decision after months of deliberation, sending their eldest son to the same school where William himself received his education as a young man.

Eton College has provided education to the children of England's highest social classes for over a century and is renowned for its strict traditions and high academic standards. The school is located near Windsor and has trained numerous British Prime Ministers and members of the royal family over the decades.

The 12-year-old Prince George is the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the direct heir to the British throne after his father William. His schooling has been a topic of public interest for some time, given his future role in the British monarchy.
