Prince George’s Secondary School Choice Still Pending as Wales Children Grow in Public Role

Kensington Palace is expected to announce the decision near the September 2026 start to reduce scrutiny.

Overview

  • The 12-year-old will leave Lambrook in July 2026 and begin Year 9 at a new school in September.
  • Eton College and Marlborough College are repeatedly reported as frontrunners, though no selection has been confirmed.
  • Some commentators point to Eton’s proximity to the family’s Windsor home and security considerations, but this remains speculative.
  • William and Kate are pursuing a gradual, on-their-terms introduction to duties for George, described by insiders as a “slow game.”
  • The Wales children showed notable confidence during the Sandringham Christmas walk, engaging the public independently under their parents’ supervision.
