Located in Windsor, Eton College has played a vital role in shaping the careers of prominent figures in British society, such as Boris Johnson, David Cameron, and even Prince William and Harry.
It was expected that Prince George would continue this tradition and attend Eton College, following in his father’s footsteps, who himself attended the school in 1995.
However, recent reports from Mail Online suggest that Prince William and Princess Kate might choose a different path for their son, potentially breaking the royal tradition.
They are considering moving Prince George to Marlborough College.
Speculation has grown that Prince George will follow his mother’s example and be educated at Marlborough College in Wiltshire.
Princess Kate has toured the £47,000-a-year school for the second time in as many months, accompanied by Prince George.
This co-educational school seems to be the preferred choice for the royal couple.
Princess Kate herself had a negative experience at an all-girls boarding school called Downhouse in Berkshire, where she was reportedly a target of bullying.
In contrast, she thrived at Marlborough College, excelling academically and participating in sports like hockey and tennis.
Founded in 1843, Marlborough College boasts an impressive list of alumni, including Princess Eugenie, Lady Samantha, Cameron, and comedian Jack Whitehall.
The decision to send Prince George to Marlborough College would not only break the tradition of attending Eton but also align him with his mother’s educational background.
In October, Kate shared that she had been helping Prince George prepare for his future education.
During a visit to a secondary school in Cardiff, she mentioned that George was just beginning to experience the challenges of being tested academically.
It seems that the young prince is already feeling the pressure, as he expressed to his mother, “Mummy, I keep getting tested all the time.”
