Caption: Prince George to Attend Eton College From September, Kensington Palace Confirms. Prince George will attend Eton College from September, Kensington Palace has confirmed, ending months of speculation about where the future king would continue his education. The 12-year-old, who is second in line to the British throne after his father, Prince William, will follow a path taken by both William and his uncle, Prince Harry. George currently attends Lambrook School near Windsor alongside his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but will move to Eton after he turns 13 next month. Eton College, founded in 1440, is one of Britain's most prestigious schools and has educated generations of political leaders, royals and public figures. The decision is seen as a continuation of a modern royal tradition established when William became the first heir to attend Eton rather than Scotland's Gordonstoun School. It was suggested that William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, considered several alternatives, including co-educational schools, before settling on Eton. The school's proximity to the family's Windsor home was widely viewed as one decisive factor, allowing George to remain close to his parents despite the boarding-school environment.
