Royal education update: Kensington Palace has confirmed a big move for Prince George that ends months of speculation about his next school. Read on to discover the full story!
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told PEOPLE on June 16 that Prince George will begin at Eton College this September. The announcement settles weeks of guessing about where the 12-year-old — who turns 13 in July — will continue his studies.
There had been talk of alternative plans, including a move to Princess Catherine’s former school, coed Marlborough College, which might have allowed Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to follow. Other insiders suggested the decision was always likely to lead back to Eton.
