Prince George is currently enjoying school life at Lambrook School in Berkshire along with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
While the young prince is only 11-years-old, he will soon be ready to move onto the next stage of education and a new school – a big decision for the second-in-line to the throne and his parents to make.
Just last year, Prince William and Princess Kate were spotted with their eldest son visiting Eton College, a prestigious boarding school the Prince of Wales attended himself.
However, while William may be keen for his son to attend this school, it is reported that the Princess of Wales has other ideas.
According to New York Post, royal expert Katie Nicholl told The Mirror: “Kate’s preference is for George to be at a co-educational school, so he can be with his siblings, which is what Kate experienced at Marlborough with her sister, Pippa, and brother, James.
“It was a very happy school life for her, but William has very fond memories of Eton, which has a long history with aristocrats and members of the Royal Family.”
While Eton – just a stone’s throw from Windsor – may be an obvious choice, having been attended by both William and Harry, Nicholl believes traditions could change for George if his parents believe this is the best option for him.
She told The Mirror: “There’s always the possibility of traditions being changed.
“William and Harry didn’t end up following in their father’s footsteps by going to Gordonstoun [in Scotland], and it may be that George breaks the Eton mould and ends up somewhere else. Whatever happens, it’ll be a decision made by William and Kate with George’s best interests factored in.”
