George will now become a boarder, with the school having 25 boarding houses, with each having approximately 55 pupils, looked after by residential staff headed by a house master.
“Some boys take to boarding like a fish to water; others take a minute to settle in,” writes the Good Schools Guide about Eton College, which says the school provides each boy with a private single room.
Melanie Sanderson, the school guide’s managing editor, says Eton has “spectacular facilities and spacious grounds”.
“Yet despite its ancient buildings, it is a modern school with a progressive outlook.
“Most 13-year-old boys arriving there in September cannot possibly know what adult life holds for them.
“Prince George, however, faces a very particular future and his parents, with an unrivalled choice of schools available to them, have decided that an Eton education represents the best preparation for life as a modern working royal,” she says.
