Prince George, the 12-year-old grandson of King Charles III, will follow in the footsteps of his father by attending Eton College later this year. \u00a0<\/p>\n
George’s father, the heir to the throne, Prince William, and his uncle Prince Harry both attended Eton, which is one of Britain’s most elite schools and is located close to Windsor Castle, west of London.<\/p>\n
“Kensington Palace can confirm that Prince George will attend Eton College from this September,” Prince William’s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Fees for the all boys boarding school are about \u00a363,000 ($119,718) a year.<\/p>\n
George will be 13 years old on his birthday next month.<\/p>\n
Speculation had raged for months about where Prince George would continue his education, with some observers predicting he would choose Marlborough College, the institution attended by his mother, Princess Catherine. \u00a0<\/p>\n Prince George (back right) with his family during Trooping The Colour, in London.
