But a source speaking to The Daily Mail said that there is a \u201csmugness\u201d from Eton about a forthcoming announcement about George\u2019s educational plans, with the insider sharing that the mood was like \u201c\u2018I know something and the people at Eton know something, but I\u2019m not going to tell you.\u2019 This was after William and Kate visited Eton.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> While no official word has come out on this, the decision was always expected to be made this summer\u2014so an announcement is likely imminent. He will begin school wherever the family chooses in September 2026, when he is 13 years old. He currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire along with Charlotte and Louis, as well.\n<\/p>\n<p> Prince George, Kate Middleton, Prince Louis, Prince William, and Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> George will turn 12 years old on July 22\u2014perhaps not a milestone outside of royal circles, but for a future king, it\u2019s a landmark year. This year, royal protocol dictates, is reportedly when William and George, who are both heirs to the throne, will no longer be able to travel together via plane, so as to prevent catastrophe to the line of succession should something tragic happen. The Wales family has been known to eschew royal protocol in the past in favor of family unity, so we\u2019ll see what happens\u2014but it remains on the table. George\u2019s exposure to royal engagements will also likely continue to be upped to prepare him for his future role; in May, after all three siblings attended a VE Day parade on May 5, it was only George who joined his parents for a Buckingham Palace tea party after honoring veterans of World War II. It\u2019s expected that George will continue to participate in more and more events like this\u2014with, and sometimes without, his siblings.\n<\/p>\n<p> Prince William and Prince George on May 5, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> George attending Eton\u2014and a visit by William and Kate there ahead of the Easter holiday\u2014was \u201cthe talk of the school, and of the parents,\u201d Richard Eden of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-14589275\/william-kate-dilemma-prince-george-academic-eton-not-right-secret-visit.html\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Mail<\/a> reported at the time.
