Prince George to attend Eton College from September

newsJun 16, 202660222

Kensington Palace has confirmed Prince George will begin at Eton College in September, following in the footsteps of his father, the Prince of Wales, who also attended the school. Eton is an historic all-boys boarding school that typically admits pupils around age 13 and has long educated generations of Britain’s political and social elite. His enrollment underscores the royal family's continuing ties to elite institutions and will shape George's social and educational network as he prepares for future public duties.

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?

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...

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.

Prince George off to £63k-a-year Eton while *taxpayers fork out £86m* for the royals and the King *pays zero capital gains tax* . #AbolishTheMonarchy. Tax the rich. Fund the people. 👑🚫

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/...

“…because you can learn maths and geography anywhere, but only at Eton do you really become a nasty piece of work comfortable with the idea of ruling over an entire empire of human beings.”

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...
