Prince George set for first day at Eton College
Prince George, 13, began his first day at Eton College as a boarding student, accompanied by his parents, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, and was welcomed by head teacher Simon Henderson and provost Sir Nicholas Coleridge.
He was photographed in the school's distinctive traditional uniform, following in the footsteps of his father and uncle who also attended the prestigious independent all-boys boarding school.
Eton College charges around £65,000 a year, accommodates boys aged 13 to 18, and has educated 20 British prime ministers.
George's attendance is meant to provide him normalcy and protection from public attention, as his parents aim to balance his royal identity with a childhood focused on routine, family, sports, and school.
The face to remember this Wednesday morning is that of Prince George, the first-born of the royal couple William and Kate. Karim Bennani shoves the spotlight on the young heir, because like millions of pupils, he also made his return to school. (International).
