Although George's school placement is almost certainly already secured, speculation suggests he will follow in his father's footsteps and attend the elite Eton College near Windsor. Although the pair were previously seen visiting the institution with their firstborn son, it seems the boarding school Princess Catherine once attended, Marlborough College, may now be the leading contender. In 2025, Princess Catherine was observed checking out multiple schools, including coed and single-sex day schools, across north London. Both Eton and Marlborough feature boarding facilities with extensive grounds and the necessary infrastructure to accommodate Royal protection officers, reports the Express.
