Prince George’s Possible Move to Eton Sparks Speculation About Princess Charlotte

Last week, Prince George was seen touring a prestigious boarding school that may soon become his new educational home.

Accompanied by his parents, Prince William and Princess Kate, the young royal is at the center of speculation regarding his potential enrollment at Eton College.

If this rumor holds true, it raises intriguing questions about the future of his younger sister, Princess Charlotte.

Could Charlotte follow in George's footsteps and become one of the first girls to attend Eton?

Sources close to the royal family have indicated that Prince William and Princess Kate prefer their children to attend the same school.

This could pave the way for Charlotte to join her brother if Eton decides to admit girls in the next few years.

While Eton currently accepts students only from age 13, those interested must be registered by the end of year five.

The conversation around Eton's admission policy has gained momentum after reports surfaced suggesting that the school is considering co-education for the first time in its long history of 600 years.

With an annual tuition fee of £45,000, Eton has educated a remarkable 20 prime ministers, making it a coveted institution for aspiring young leaders.

Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte's educational journey remains a bit more uncertain.

Following her early education at St. Andrew's School, she faced challenges at Dawn House in Newbury, where bullying affected her confidence significantly.

A friend revealed that Charlotte struggled with the experience, describing her as looking thin and pale during that tough period.

After her time at Dawn House, Charlotte transitioned to Marlborough College in Wiltshire.

However, if her parents choose to keep her closer to home in Windsor, St. Mary's School, located nearby, could be a viable option.

Eldon's provost, Lord William Waldegrave, hinted last year that Eton is likely to go co-ed eventually, although the decision is still under consideration.

Eton's governing body reviews the possibility of co-education annually, but a definitive timeline for this change remains unclear.

Currently, the school charges £15,432 per term, with three terms in a school year.

As the brother of Lady Susan Hussey, who served as a key aide to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Lord Waldegrave has been at the helm of Eton's governing body since 2009.

However, he will step down soon, paving the way for new leadership by the time Prince George potentially enrolls.

Reports suggest that Prince George is thriving at Eton, enjoying his time there.

The recent move of the royal family to Windsor Castle, conveniently located near the school, means he can easily return home on weekends.

Before this transition, both George and Charlotte attended Thomas's prep school in Battersea.

Princess Charlotte's title has also evolved.

Previously known as Her Royal Highness, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, her official title changed when her father became second-in-line to the throne following Queen Elizabeth II's passing.

Now, she is referred to as Her Royal Highness, Princess Charlotte of Wales.

While this title will remain with her throughout her life, it isn't particularly practical for an eight-year-old in a school setting.

As with Prince William and Prince Harry, who adopted their father's title as their surname during their upbringing, George, Charlotte, and their younger brother, Louis, have been using “Cambridge” at school.

It remains uncertain whether they have switched to “Wales” on school registers following the title change.

For now, Charlotte may be known as either Charlotte Cambridge or Charlotte Wales, depending on the context.
