  • William and Kate are weighing Eton College and Marlborough College as leading contenders for his secondary schooling.
  • Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says George’s awareness of his future role has deepened as he takes part in major events like VE Day commemorations and the Trooping the Colour.
