Prince George’s 2026 School Choice to Stay Under Wraps as Eton Emerges as Favorite

The Waleses typically reveal school placements shortly before term to protect their children’s transition.

Overview

  • Prince George is due to start a new secondary school in September 2026, with the choice not yet announced.
  • Eton College and Marlborough College are cited as the leading options, reflecting his parents’ school histories.
  • Good Schools Guide editor Melanie Sanderson says Eton is the most likely choice and expects a late announcement, possibly next September.
  • The reported rationale for delaying disclosure is to limit media attention and pressure on the school and George’s future classmates.
  • The palace has not confirmed any decision, though former BBC correspondent Jennie Bond suggests the choice may already be made.
