Prince George to attend Eton College, how much does it cost, where will Princess Charlotte & Prince Louis go?
It has been confirmed that Prince George will attend Eton College from September.
In the last few years, there has been speculation over whether Prince George would follow in his father Prince William’s footsteps and attend Eton College or possibly attend Marlborough College like his mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales. In January 2025 NationalWorld reported that Prince George might attend a London school after his mother reportedly visited University College School, (UCS) in Hampstead, and Highgate School in north London.
In July 2024 NationalWorld reported on speculation that Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales might attend St Edward’s School which prioritises ‘children’s happiness,’ for Prince George and in November of last year it was thought that he might not opt for Eton College and choose Marlborough College instead.
However, it has now been confirmed that Prince George will follow in the footsteps of both his father Prince William and his uncle Prince Harry and attend Eton College this September. At present, Prince George is at Lambrook School in Berkshire.
According to the school’s website, "With 52 acres of beautiful grounds, our own Orchard complex with bees, chickens and ghosts, woodland, 9 hole golf course and endless sports pitches, our children have plenty of opportunities to explore, play, learn and of course to get muddy.”
Where will Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis attend?
Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis attend Lambrook School along with their older brother Prince George. It has been reported that they will attend Marlborough College.
A source told Vanity Fair that “The prospect of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis accompanying Prince George at school, just like their uncle and aunt accompanied Catherine, is said to be an appealing one.”

From taking leading roles in our societies programme and sports teams, to being elected into prefect roles by their beaks (teachers) and peers, these boys have embraced every opportunity inside and outside the classroom.”
