So, Prince George joining Eton’s Class of 2031 is the word on everyone’s beaks. Sound familiar? Just three months ago, in January, insiders told The Mail on Sunday that it was nigh on confirmed that the heir would be heading to Marlborough. The Princess of Wales, they said, had her heart so set on sending her son to the £59,000-a-year Wiltshire school where she was crowned ‘most likely to be loved by everybody’ in her yearbook.
‘Parents have been talking about nothing else, and discussions have really ramped up in recent weeks, but security is obviously a massive consideration,’ a source told the outlet, with the assumption being that George would board at C1 house, located around the college’s main quad.
Marlborough certainly has its own impressive list of alumni, including Princess Eugenie, the poets Siegfried Sassoon and John Betjeman, and comedian Jack Whitehall. Notably, if Prince George were to enroll, it would be the first time that a male heir studied at a co-ed school.
