A Serious Prince George Decision Is on the Horizon, According to a New Royal Report

Both William and Kate seemed to have very positive experiences at their alma maters, though Harry recalls his time at Eton a bit less favorably. In his 2023 memoir, Spare, he shared that it was "Heaven for brilliant boys, it could thus only be purgatory for one very un-brilliant boy," and felt "way, way in over my head" there. (William had been captain of the swim team and was elected prefect.)

Royals experts tend to believe Marlborough is the most likely choice, despite the reported visits to London schools, as it's a coed school, so all three children could attend together, and it's about an hour from their home in Windsor. 

There's also a very practical argument to be made for Marlborough, which Kate's siblings, James and Pippa, also attended: "Because all three children could go there...then they're not such a burden on the taxpayer due to the security that has to be with them all the time," explained Ingrid Seward, author of My Mother and I, a book about the royal family, in the Newsweek interview. 

Still, others hope they'll break with tradition and have him eschew boarding school altogether. “They have been the model of a modern monarchy so far, and I would like to see them continue as a tight family unit, with the children coming home each day after school,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said in a 2023 interview. 

I guess only time will tell, it seems.
