Overview
- Kensington Palace confirmed over the summer that Prince George will attend Eton, continuing a recent pattern of heirs going to the school.
- Reporting says George is due to begin at Eton in early September, where all boys live in boarding houses and have private study‑bedrooms rather than shared dorms.
- Eton emphasizes academic rigor with a broad curriculum and a personal tutor for each pupil, offering dozens of subjects including multiple modern and classical languages.
- Both Eton’s reported 2024 restriction on smartphones for incoming first years and Prince William’s public comments about a non‑internet ‘brick’ phone show school and parental limits on device use.
- The Waleses prioritized Eton for its proximity to Windsor, which lets George visit family on weekends and helps manage security, privacy and media exposure as he prepares for public duties.
