King Charles is reportedly considering reviving a tradition to help prepare Prince George for eventual kingship, following the prince’s start at Eton College. The move is discussed as part of a broader approach to ceremonial upbringing and formal preparation.
Both outlets link the idea to established royal practice and describe the tradition as one that has previously been associated with Prince George’s family. One source notes that Prince William also took part in the same kind of ritual, suggesting it is viewed within the family as a meaningful step in readiness for the role.
At the same time, the reports reflect differing levels of detail and attribution: one outlet frames the suggestion as something the king may “restore,” while another presents it as a claim from a former butler. Despite these differences in how the story is sourced and characterized, both accounts center on the same premise—reviving an earlier tradition as Prince George begins his education at Eton.
