It’s official: The Princess of Wales has lost her years-long battle to get Prince George into a coeducational school. Prince George is officially going to Eton, it was announced today. In fact, from 2023 until this month, there is a briefing war going on between Princess Kate and Prince William over the education of their eldest child. Kate has surprisingly strong, negative feelings about gay education, as well as strong negative feelings about boarding schools in general. But William got his way, and the establishment got its way: George would go to Eton.

Kensington Palace has announced that Prince George will attend school at Eton College in September. He will follow in the footsteps of his father, the Prince of Wales, who also attended the private school in Berkshire, where fees cost around £63,000 a year.

Pupils start school at the age of 13 – and Prince George will turn 13 on his birthday next month. As the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, George is second in the line of succession to the throne.

There has been speculation about which school Prince George will attend after completing his studies at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where he is studying with his sister Charlotte and brother Louis. Among the suggestions under discussion, which focused on private schools rather than government schools, was Marlborough College, the school where his mother Catherine had attended. But a more traditional option has been chosen, with the announcement that George will go to Eton College, the historic private school founded in the 15th century, where 20 British prime ministers have studied.

Prince George’s uncle, Prince Harry, and great-uncle, Earl Spencer, also attended the elite boarding school.

I hope someday the real story will be told about it, because it was not a straightforward process at all. I wonder what “they” had to give Kate to make this happen. Was his 2024 deal renegotiated? Given Kate’s lack of effort in recent months, this would make sense. Perhaps she negotiated even fewer public appearances, plus the chance to hide away at Forest Lodge and Anmer Hall forever, perhaps even a few bonus holidays. No wonder why she’s been eyeing everyone at her recent events.
