Prince George, 13, is set to attend his first day at Eton College on Tuesday, marking a new stage in his education and life as a boarder.
Multiple outlets say the move follows his family’s education path, with coverage noting that his father, the Prince of Wales, and his uncle, the Duke of Sussex, previously attended the school. BBC and Sky describe the start as the next step in his schooling, while Newsweek frames it more specifically as a transition toward greater independence from his parents. Metro similarly highlights the “in his father’s footsteps” angle.
While the outlets focus on slightly different aspects—education milestone, family tradition, and personal transition—they agree on the core details: Prince George attends Eton College for his first day on Tuesday and is beginning the latest phase of his formal education.
