Prince George is expected to follow in the footsteps of his
\nfather and uncle by attending Eton College from September, bringing
\nan end to years of speculation over where the future king would
\ncontinue his education.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the Prince and Princess of Wales have
\nopted for the prestigious Berkshire boarding school after
\nconsidering a number of alternatives, including Marlborough
\nCollege, St Edward\u2019s School in Oxford and Oundle School in
\nNorthamptonshire.<\/p>\n
Royal commentator Richard Eden reported that an announcement
\nconfirming George\u2019s place at Eton could be made as early as next
\nweek. He also claimed that the 12-year-old had successfully passed
\nthe school\u2019s entrance examination.<\/p>\n
The decision means Prince George is set to join a long line of
\nroyals educated at Eton, including his father, Prince William, and
\nuncle, Prince Harry.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, Eton College is one of
\nBritain\u2019s most famous independent schools and has educated
\ngenerations of politicians, aristocrats and public figures. Among
\nits former pupils are former prime ministers Sir Robert Walpole,
\nthe Duke of Wellington, David Cameron and Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n
For the Royal Family, the school holds particular significance.
\nPrince William enrolled at Eton in 1995, becoming the first direct
\nheir to the throne to attend the college. His younger brother,
\nPrince Harry, followed two years later.<\/p>\n
William\u2019s attendance was seen as a break from royal tradition.
\nTheir father, King Charles III, attended Gordonstoun in Scotland,
\nas did Prince Philip. At the time, the then Prince and Princess of
\nWales opted for Eton because of its academic reputation and its
\nproximity to Windsor, allowing William to remain close to home
\nduring his teenage years.<\/p>\n
Similar considerations are understood to have influenced the
\nWaleses\u2019 decision for George.<\/p>\n
Eton lies just across the River Thames from Windsor and is only
\na short drive from Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate, where
\nthe family live with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The
\nlocation would allow George to board while remaining close to his
\nparents and siblings.<\/p>\n
According to reports, security concerns also played a role in
\nthe decision-making process. Sources cited by the Daily Mail
\nsuggested that Eton\u2019s status as an all-boys school was viewed as an
\nadvantage in an era dominated by smartphones and social media.<\/p>\n
The prospect of George attending Eton has long fuelled debate
\namong royal watchers. Catherine, Princess of Wales, is understood
\nto have favoured a co-educational school, with some reports
\nsuggesting she was keen for her eldest son to attend Marlborough
\nCollege in Wiltshire, where she was educated.<\/p>\n
The Princess has also been linked to efforts to modernise
\naspects of royal life and was said to have reservations about
\nsending George to what critics describe as one of Britain\u2019s most
\ntraditional institutions.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Eton\u2019s combination of academic prestige, extensive
\nsecurity arrangements and proximity to Windsor appears to have won
\nout.<\/p>\n
Should the reports prove correct, George will become the latest
\nroyal pupil to pass through the college\u2019s historic gates as he
\nbegins preparing for a future role as king.<\/p>\n
The move marks a significant milestone for the young prince, who
\nis second in line to the throne behind his father, and comes as he
\nprepares to leave Lambrook School after completing his primary
\neducation.<\/p>\n
While Kensington Palace has not commented on the reports,
\nconfirmation of George\u2019s next educational chapter is expected in
\nthe coming days.<\/p>\n
