Prince George to attend Eton College from September

newsJun 16, 202622315

Prince George will enroll at Eton College in September, Kensington Palace announced. He will follow his father, the Prince of Wales, who also attended the private all-boys boarding school. Eton has educated generations of British political leaders and aristocrats, placing pupils in networks that have shaped government and public life. The move continues a royal pattern of elite private schooling and will shape George’s educational path and social connections ahead of future public responsibilities.

Relief that Prince George seems to have scraped through Eton's rigorous interview process.

I'm just worried about how his parents will be able to afford the fees. GoFundMe?

But, but 20% VAT. How will his family afford it?

Prince George is going to Eton and you're paying. A bunch of wonderful other alumni went to this 'fantastic' school. Including Prince William, Boris 'pile em' high' Johnson, David 'kill em' with austerity' Cameron, Nadhim 'Warm horses failed tax dodger' Zahawi, Victorian Pencil

It's amazing people will defend having to pay for this 5 Star Hotel treatment, while their kids go to crumbling buildings that have had to sell off their playing fields. It's quite clear going to bad schools does make you stupid.

I'm sure it's just because their [Checks Notes] CASTLE happens to be in the catchment area....

What a relief this is, it will save Kate (or may be William) one pack lunch to make in a morning as their days is busy enough as they see the other 2 are washed and dressed before the school run, then off to their busy jobs. Just like any other family🤣

Seems like the VAT hasn't been a barrier...

If the headline had been Prince George to start at local comprehensive in September then that would have been news!

As a reaction to the news that Prince George is to attend Eton, here's a favourite passage of mine from We Should Know Better by the former Tory education minister George Walden.

It would be a story if Prince George went to a state school, and that I would be interested in. This, though, is a complete non-story.

Did the Kate Middleton really think she was going to win that fight?

I knew she wasn't going to win that fight.

Just when you think that they might have read the room, another one is being sent to Eton. Some things are incapable of change, or even evolution. Shame . www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

With Eton fees at £63,000 a year you can discount any thoughts of Prince George being 'one of us' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
