Kate Middleton forced to make huge decision about Prince George’s future
Prince George is approaching a pivotal moment as he prepares to enter his final year at Lambrook School. The 12-year-old future king will soon transition to secondary education, forcing parents Prince William and Kate Middleton to make a major decision about his schooling.
The choice appears to be between two elite institutions: Eton College, where William studied, or Marlborough College, Kate’s alma mater. Reports suggest Eton may have the edge due to its proximity to the family’s Windsor home, though no official announcement has been made.
A source hinted at Eton’s confidence, noting George’s visit with his parents caused a stir among staff and parents. While Marlborough had been considered for its co-ed environment—potentially allowing Princess Charlotte to join later—Eton seems the likely frontrunner.
George’s 12th birthday also marks a significant royal protocol change: he and his siblings can no longer travel together on the same flight due to succession security concerns. This underscores the growing weight of his future role.
Royal expert Jennie Bond observed George’s increasing awareness of his destiny, noting his serious demeanor during public engagements. However, she emphasized he still enjoys lighthearted moments with family, particularly at football matches.
The young prince has recently taken on more royal duties, including commemorating VE Day’s 80th anniversary and meeting WWII veterans. These appearances signal his gradual preparation for kingship.
As the summer holidays begin, William and Kate’s school decision will soon become public. Whatever their choice, it will shape George’s education during these formative years before he eventually ascends the throne.
