Britain’s little Prince George will turn 13 in July, which means he will become a teenager.
George starts middle school this year. This means that Prince George will leave Lambrook School in Berkshire and start at a new school from September.
Royal Expert Katie Nicholl assess the situation Mirrorfor the magazine. He believes that the changes will affect the whole family.
– George’s new school will be a big transition for the whole family, Nicholl estimates.
– Changes are on the horizon, but this family is not afraid of them. I think George is more than ready for this next phase of his life, the royal expert continues.
In particular, Princess Catherine has given her all for the schooling of the family’s children. According to the Mirror, the princess can regularly be seen on the sidelines of the sports field cheering on her children or buying lottery tickets from the school’s charity raffle, despite the fact that she was reportedly diagnosed with cancer in 2024.
– On the days when I feel well enough, it’s a pleasure to be involved in the school’s everyday life, Catherine stated earlier.
Prince George will most likely go to boarding school. PDO
Two options
Kensington Palace has not yet made public which school Prince George will attend. According to speculation, one of the top options is the prestigious Marlborough boarding school in Wiltshire or Eton boys’ school in Berkshire. Sources say Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales visited both schools. Academic fees in both schools are around 68,000 euros per year.
– I know that the princely couple has also visited some private day schools, but I believe that George will go to a boarding school like William and Catherine, expert Nicholl tells the Mirror.
According to a royal expert, the prince couple spends a lot of time choosing a school.
– They have closely involved George in the selection and ensure that the school offers him the best possible start in life and future, Nicholl adds.
Eton and Marlborough are important places for William and Catherine, as they spent their teenage years at these schools. Prince Harry also attended Eton Boys’ School in his time. This was an extraordinary decision from the court and a break with tradition, as Prince Philip and King Charles have attended Gordonstoun School in Scotland.

Eton boys’ school is also the most reliable option for George’s future school, according to author and royal expert Hugo Vickers.
– It is a very good school and in many ways a step ahead of its time. Of course, it’s also located in Windsor and right next to Forest Lodge, the family’s new home, Vickers previously told the OK! news site.
The lives of William and Catherine’s family changed in October 2025 when they moved into their final home, Forest Lodge, on the grounds of Windsor Castle. The family’s children George, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, attend school in the Windsor area.
The new 18.7 million euro home is bigger than their previous residence. With the new home, the family got close to nature, which is a dream come true for a family that idealizes an ordinary life.
