UMVA has learned that Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is set to follow in his father's footsteps by attending Eton College, one of the most prestigious schools in the UK.
The young prince's educational journey has been the subject of much speculation, with several top schools in the running, including St Edward's School in Oxford and Oundle School in Northamptonshire. However, it appears that Eton has ultimately won out, with the £63,000-a-year school offering a unique combination of academic excellence and traditional values.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Prince George recently sat the common entrance exam for Eton and passed with flying colors. The final decision to send him to Eton was reportedly influenced by the school's all-boys environment, with the royal family keen to avoid any potential media scrutiny that could arise from their children mixing with girls.
A key factor in the decision was also the school's proximity to the family's 'forever home' in Windsor, with Eton being just a 12-minute drive from the Wales' Forest Lodge. This will allow Prince George to maintain a relatively normal family life, even as he navigates the challenges of high school.
While Kate Middleton had initially been hesitant about sending her son to Eton, reportedly feeling that it was too "stuffy" and traditional, she ultimately appears to have given in to her husband's wishes. The decision is significant, given Eton's long history of educating British prime ministers, including David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
Prince George's transition to high school marks an important milestone in his life, and one that will undoubtedly be closely watched by the media and the public. With Eton providing a world-class education and a unique insight into British history and culture, the young prince is set to thrive in his new environment.
