Prince George, now 11, is next in line after Prince William and will eventually become king. For now, he’s focused on school, but his royal education is gradually beginning. With just a year left at Lambrook School, talks have begun about where he’ll continue his education.
In 2023, George was seen visiting Eton College with his parents—William and Harry’s former school—where tuition is around £46,000 a year. Children must be registered the year they turn 10, so planning is underway.
However, there’s debate over boarding school. While William supports Eton, Kate reportedly has concerns due to her negative experience at boarding school. She’s been “heartbroken” over the idea of sending George away and prefers he remain close to home. Recently, she visited Highgate School in London, sparking speculation about an alternative choice.
Highgate is a prestigious co-ed day school with fees around £32,640 a year. During her visit, Kate showed particular interest in the drama department. The school’s headmaster, Adam Pettitt, recently emphasized screen-free quality time and hinted at stricter mobile phone policies, calling for more active engagement between children and parents.
The final decision on George’s next school remains undecided, highlighting the balance William and Kate seek between tradition and a modern upbringing.
