George’s grandfather, King Charles, went to Gordonstoun, a school in the Scottish Highlands attended by the King’s father, the late Duke of Edinburgh.
It is not known if George will board at Eton, with the college only a few kilometres from his family’s Forest Lodge home in Windsor.
However, the young prince has been boarding at the Lambrook School, a private preparatory school in Berkshire, where he has studied since 2022.
He has attended there alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte, 11, and 8-year-old Prince Louis.
Eton, long a byword for elitism and the class divide in Britain, was founded by King Henry VI in 1440.
It educates boys aged 13 to 18, and has preserved many of its traditions, including a distinct uniform comprising a black tailcoat, black waistcoat, white shirt and bow tie, and striped trousers.
It welcomes nearly 1350 pupils each year, according to its website.
