- Prince George, the 13-year-old future king, officially began his education at Eton College on Tuesday, joined on his first day by his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine.
- Upon their arrival, the royal family was welcomed by Eton Headmaster Simon Henderson, who wished the young prince good luck, and Provost Sir Nicholas Coleridge before entering the historic campus.

- Prince George's enrollment follows in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, who attended the elite institution starting in 1995, breaking from the older royal tradition of attending Gordonstoun in Scotland.
- Other famous past students include actors Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Eddie Redmayne, a large number of prime ministers including Lord David Cameron, writers George Orwell and Ian Fleming, and adventurer Bear Grylls.
