The Prince and Princess of Wales have confirmed that Prince George will attend Eton College from next year, ending years of speculation over whether the future king might instead follow his mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales, to Marlborough College.
The decision means George, who turns 13 this summer, will continue a royal educational tradition established by both Prince William and Prince Harry, who studied at the prestigious Berkshire boarding school. Eton, founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, is located close to the Wales family's Windsor home and has long been regarded as a leading option for the heir's eldest son.
