\n\tDespite whisperings that Prince George<\/a>, 12, would go to Eton College in the fall like his dad Prince William<\/a> and his uncle Prince Harry, royal insiders are now speculating that is not the case. The preteen may actually be looking at other secondary schools instead according to a new source.<\/p>\n

\n\tInstead of Eton, Prince George may go to his mom Kate Middleton\u2019s alma mater, Marlborough. \u201cWhile Eton would be the obvious choice because it is on their doorstep and where William went, they are leaning towards other schools,\u201d a source told Vanity Fair.<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m hearing Marlborough is the front-runner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe insider went on to say that George is expected to go to a boarding school, as it will help him develop independence, although they don\u2019t think the decision has been officially made just yet.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI genuinely don\u2019t think they\u2019ve one hundred percent decided, but there is talk among the Marlborough set that they\u2019ve allocated a house for George and that security has been a big issue,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecurity does seem to be a big concern. In December, a palace security source told OK Magazine<\/a> that Prince William and Middleton have amped up security around Geroge over potential assassination and kidnapping threats. \u201cThe alert over George\u2019s safety is real and it\u2019s serious,\u201d they told the outlet. \u201cThreat monitoring spiked the moment discussions about George\u2019s next school began circulating. That\u2019s why the family is determined to keep the location under wraps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSecurity concerns aren\u2019t the only things holding the Wales back from Eton. Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine, speculates that Prince William is worried about the optics of George attending Eton.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe told VF, \u201cWilliam loved Eton and did well academically, but I don\u2019t think we should assume George will follow suit. For a start, we are seeing William doing things differently. He is mindful of costs and appearances when it comes to his family and the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m told William has voiced concerns about how it will look for George to be at such an elitist and expensive school,\u201d Seward added.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, if George attends the co-ed Marlborough, then eventually his siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, can join him there as well. VF\u2019s source said, \u201cKate had a great time at Marlborough and it ticks all the boxes. I think if they can, they would love for all three children to be at school together, which puts Marlborough as the top choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNo matter what school they choose, we likely won\u2019t find out until September. Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good School Guide, told Hello!<\/a> in November, \u201cIf the Wales family runs true to form, they will announce Prince George\u2019s secondary school at the eleventh hour, possibly as late as September 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey understand that the school itself, as well as George\u2019s new peer group, will fall under intense scrutiny as soon as it is revealed and will probably want to minimize this, allowing the young royal to transition to his new school with as little fanfare as possible,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
