Prince George, Second in Line to the British Throne, Is Set to Become King
Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly faced a tough call when it comes to their eldest son, Prince George, the future king of England.
As the second in line to the British throne, 11-year-old George is destined to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, King Charles III, and his dad, Prince William. But with that royal destiny comes a big decision: his parents are now weighing options for his next school, which could mean splitting him up from his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, for the first time.
Right now, all three Wales kids—George, nine-year-old Charlotte, and six-year-old Louis—are enjoying a half-term break from Lambrook School in Berkshire. It’s a co-ed spot that’s been perfect for them, teaching kids from ages three to thirteen. Kate, the Princess of Wales, has apparently loved having her trio together there. But come September, George will hit the age where he needs to move on to secondary school, and that’s where things get tricky.
Word on the street is that Marlborough College in Wiltshire—Kate’s old stomping grounds—might be the frontrunner for George. This fancy £59,000-a-year boarding school has been buzzing as a top pick for the young royal once he leaves Lambrook. It’s got room for all three siblings down the line, and insiders say George has already snagged an offer. There’s even talk of a house being set aside for him, with the school ticking all the right boxes for his security needs as a future monarch.
Still, nothing’s set in stone. Kensington Palace hasn’t spilled the beans on where Prince George will end up for his next chapter. With William and Kate juggling their kids’ happiness and George’s royal future, it’s clear this isn’t an easy choice. What do you think—will they stick with tradition or shake things up for their little king-in-waiting?
