Prince George is following in his father’s footsteps<\/a> in an important way. According to a new report, Kate Middleton<\/a> and Prince William have allegedly decided to send Prince George to Eton<\/a> College, after much discussion and disagreement<\/a>. Insiders are also claiming there is some degree of “smugness” regarding the choice to send George to Eton<\/a>, which is yet to be officially announced.<\/p>\n

According to the Mail on Sunday<\/a>, sources have shared that “all roads lead to Eton” for Prince George. It was previously believed that Princess Kate wanted George to attend her alma mater, Malborough College<\/a>. Since then, the Prince and Princess of Wales have been spotted visiting a number of different schools<\/a>, presumably in an attempt to weigh up their options for George’s future<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Insiders told the outlet that there appears to be some “smugness” regarding a “forthcoming announcement” from the Royal Family<\/a> regarding the decision. A source alleged, “It was like, ‘I know something and the people at Eton know something, but I’m not going to tell you.’ That was after William and Kate visited Eton.”<\/p>\n

The outlet also reported that both “Eton and rival Marlborough College were clear front-runners” for the young prince’s schooling. However, Prince William and Prince Harry’s alma mater<\/a> is located close to Adelaide College<\/a> in Windsor, where George resides with his parents and siblings. According to the Mail on Sunday, school fees at Eton cost as much as $85,000 [\u00a364,000] per pupil per year.<\/p>\n

If the reports are true, Prince George will leave Lambrook School<\/a> in Berkshire, which he attends alongside siblings Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis, for Eton College next fall.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported by OK!<\/a> magazine that there was “a lot of tension<\/a>” regarding whether or not Prince George would be a boarding student at his next school. The outlet alleged that Princess Kate was “dead set against” the idea.<\/p>\n

A source told the outlet, “Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernize the monarchy<\/a>…Plus, she’ll miss George desperately.” The source also suggested that, following years of disagreements, Prince William had “finally won” the argument about George’s education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
