The future of Prince George’s education remains uncertain as he approaches his 13th birthday this summer. Currently, he and his siblings are enrolled at Lambrook School. As they prepare for the transition to secondary education, speculation is rampant about their next steps.
Potential Educational Paths for Prince George
Historically, the royal family has favored certain institutions. There is particular interest in whether Prince George will follow in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, and uncle, Prince Harry, by attending Eton College. However, recent insights suggest that the royal couple may be considering other options.
Visit to Oundle School
The recent visit by Prince William and Catherine to Oundle School raises questions about their preferences. This visit diverges from the expectation that Prince George would attend Marlborough College, another strong contender for his education.
Marlborough College as a Leading Option
According to sources, Marlborough is emerging as a frontrunner for Prince George’s secondary education. It is noted that the college “ticks all the boxes” for the family. The institution has a prestigious history and a distinguished list of alumni, which includes:
- Princess Eugenie
- Poets Siegfried Sassoon and John Betjeman
- Comedian Jack Whitehall
- Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales
Catherine’s own connection to Marlborough College adds another layer of familiarity for the family, as she enrolled there in 1996, alongside her siblings.
Family Considerations for Prince George’s Education
Another appealing aspect of Marlborough College is the potential for Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis to attend alongside their brother. This arrangement mirrors the experience of Catherine and her siblings during their education. Sources suggest that if possible, William and Catherine would prefer all three children to be enrolled at the same institution.
The Future of Prince George’s Education
As William and Catherine continue to explore their options, they have also been seen touring both Marlborough and Eton College. The decision regarding Prince George’s next educational step is expected to be announced soon.
