Prince George Starts at Eton College Aged 13
Prince George has enrolled at Eton College and is now studying there. The 13-year-old arrived for his first day with Prince William and Princess Kate. HELLO!
Kensington Palace had announced that he would attend the school from September. The announcement set the timetable. The arrival put it into effect.
He was pictured in his Eton uniform for the first time on that first day. HELLO! For the arrival he wore a smart dark blazer, shirt, tie and chinos. He will spend five years at the school.
Eton College is a boarding school in Berkshire where pupils start at the age of 13. Fees are around £63,000 a year, according to the BBC. George turned up at exactly the usual entry age.
He is following his father by going to Eton. William attended Ludgrove School in Berkshire for five years from 1990 before starting at Eton in 1995, where he took his GCSEs and A Levels. Royal.uk
There was a family message waiting for him. James Middleton, George's uncle, posted a message of support for the first day. It came as the first-day photographs were published.
HELLO! royal editor Emily Nash said on the Right Royal Podcast that George is a smart kid. She added that Catherine would not have sent him to Eton if she did not think he could handle it and keep up.
For anyone meeting George for the first time through this story, he was born at 4.24pm on 22 July 2013 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. Thirteen years on, that baby is now a boarder in a tailcoat town. The paperwork has changed. The school run has changed with it.
