Tomorrow marks a significant moment for Prince George as he departs Lambrook School in Berkshire for the final time.

The eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales will attend his last day at the prep school on Saturday, July 4, signalling both the beginning of an extended summer holiday and a major shift in his educational journey.

The future king has spent his time at Lambrook studying alongside his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, aged 11, and eight-year-old Prince Louis.

This departure brings to a close George's experience of coeducational schooling before he moves to Eton College this autumn.

The choice of the prestigious all-boys institution sees George following in his father's footsteps.

Prince William's time at Eton proved formative, and he maintains close friendships from his school days that continue to this day.

His positive memories of the elite establishment are understood to have played a significant role in shaping the family's decision.

The transition represents a return to royal tradition, as members of the family have historically attended single-sex schools rather than coeducational institutions.

The eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who celebrates his 13th birthday in July, is set to join Britain's most prestigious all-boys boarding institution.

Annual fees at the school stand at approximately £63,000.

The young prince will reside at Manor House, the same accommodation where both his father, Prince William, and uncle, Prince Harry, stayed during their Eton years.

While full boarding is standard, pupils have some flexibility to return home at weekends.

Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will continue at Lambrook, where all three siblings have studied since 2022.

Eton's location near Windsor places it conveniently close to the Wales family residence.
