Prince William has disclosed that his eldest son, Prince George, is currently boarding at Lambrook School in Berkshire, offering a rare glimpse into the royal family's preparations for the young prince's transition to secondary education. The revelation came during a live appearance on Heart Radio, where William jokingly told his younger children, Charlotte and Louis, to behave on the school run while George was boarding.
The Prince of Wales, 43, quipped on air: 'Charlotte and Louis, because George is boarding last night, if you're listening, make sure you're on time, please, make sure you're not fighting over who listens to what this morning.' He also described the morning routine as 'chaotic', depending on activities such as guitar or music lessons.
Lambrook School, which George has attended since 2022, offers boarding for children aged 7 to 13, with options ranging from five nights a week to occasional stays. The school has two boarding houses: Lambrook House for girls and Westfield for boys, each overseen by house parents and tutors.
Speculation continues over where George will attend secondary school, with Eton College, William's alma mater, and Marlborough College, attended by the Princess of Wales, among the frontrunners. Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide, suggested the Wales family may be holding multiple places open at different schools, noting that 'the normal rules possibly don't apply' for royals when it comes to acceptance deadlines.
As of March, it is understood that William and Kate have begun exploring options, including Wellington College, though no final decision has been publicly confirmed. George is expected to start secondary school in September 2025.
