Prince George of Great Britain is going to the prestigious Eton College.

British Prince George, 12-year-old grandson of King Charles, will attend the prestigious Eton College later this year, according to a statement from the Kensington Palace. Prince George's father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry, also attended Eton, which is considered one of the most elite schools in Britain. The school is located near the royal Windsor Castle. The palace confirmed that Prince George will start at Eton this September. Annual tuition for boys is approximately $85,000. Currently, Prince George, who is second in line to the throne, attends the private school Lambrook,

NAKON što je Kensingtonska palača potvrdila da će princ George od rujna pohađati prestižni koledž Eton , čini se da će princ William morati popustiti oko jednog od svojih najstrožih roditeljskih pravila. Najstariji sin princa i princeze od Walesa, dvanaestogodišnji George, napustit će školu Lambrook u Berkshireu i, prema svemu sudeći, živjeti u internatu Etona.

Iako se škola nalazi svega petnaestak minuta vožnje od obiteljskog doma u Windsoru, činjenica da će George veći dio vremena provoditi izvan kuće znači da će William i Kate vjerojatno željeti ostati u što češćem kontaktu sa sinom.

Pravilo o mobitelima uskoro bi se moglo promijeniti

Ta se promjena poklapa s Williamovim ranijim najavama da bi George uskoro mogao dobiti mobitel. Do sada je korištenje mobitela bilo zabranjeno njemu, njegovoj mlađoj sestri Charlotte (11) i najmlađem bratu Louisu (8).

U seriji The Reluctant Traveler na Apple TV+ glumac Eugene Levy upitao je princa Williama jede li obitelj zajedno, na što je on odgovorio: "Da, svakako. Sjednemo za stol i razgovaramo, to nam je zaista važno. Nitko od naše djece nema mobitel, po tom smo pitanju vrlo strogi."

Princ je potom kroz šalu dodao da se njegovo dvoje mlađe djece umjesto korištenja mobitela radije "naganja i hrva" na trampolinu.

William je i ranije dao naslutiti da bi se pravilo o mobitelima uskoro moglo promijeniti. Tijekom posjeta Brazilu povodom dodjele nagrada Earthshot 2025. rekao je voditelju Lucianu Hucku: "Mislim da bi George, kada krene u srednju školu, mogao dobiti mobitel, ali bez pristupa internetu."

"Iskreno, dolazimo do točke kada to postaje pomalo osjetljivo pitanje. No mislim da razumije zašto smo tako postavili stvari", objasnio je William.

"Razgovaramo s djecom o tome zašto smatramo da to nije dobro. Moj najveći problem je pristup internetu. Mislim da djeca ondje mogu naići na previše sadržaja koji im ne treba. Zato smatram da je sasvim u redu imati običan mobitel za pozive i poruke."

Zašto baš Eton?

Melanie Sanderson, glavna urednica Vodiča za dobre škole (Good Schools Guide), smatra da princ George nije mogao odabrati prestižniju školu.

"Eton, više od gotovo bilo koje druge škole, nudi nevjerojatno širok raspon prilika. I druge privatne škole imaju sport, kazalište i brojne izvannastavne aktivnosti, ali Eton je ipak posebna priča. To je škola s globalnim ugledom. George će ondje upoznati vršnjake iz najutjecajnijih i najuglednijih obitelji iz cijelog svijeta", rekla je.

Dodala je i da bi vjerska tradicija škole mogla biti važan faktor.

"Jednoga dana bit će poglavar Engleske crkve. U mnogim školama kapelica više nema nekadašnju ulogu, ali u Etonu je i dalje važan dio svakodnevnog života. William se ondje krizmao i ne bi me iznenadilo da George slijedi isti put."

Sanderson smatra i da bi škola namijenjena isključivo dječacima mogla biti jedan od razloga za odabir.

"Vjerojatno žele imati određeni utjecaj na okruženje u kojem George odrasta i na društvo kojim je okružen. Eton nudi upravo takvo okruženje. Naravno, učenici imaju prilike družiti se i s djevojkama iz drugih škola, ali svakodnevni školski život odvija se u muškom okruženju. Za mene je to oduvijek bio logičan izbor."

Nastavak obiteljske tradicije

Odabirom tradicionalne škole za dječake, čija školarina iznosi 63.298 britanskih funti godišnje (oko 74.000 eura), George nastavlja obiteljsku tradiciju.

Njegov otac, princ William, pohađao je Eton od 1995. do 2000. godine te je bio prvi visoki član britanske kraljevske obitelji koji je ondje stekao obrazovanje. Tijekom školovanja položio je 12 GCSE ispita i tri ispita A-razine.

Poznavatelji kraljevske obitelji nisu posebno iznenađeni ovim izborom. Melanie Sanderson za Hello! ističe da odluka ima i vrlo praktičnu stranu.

"Koledž Eton doslovno se vidi iz dvorca Windsor. Lijepo je znati da George može relativno lako svratiti kući. Danas učenici imaju i znatno više slobode nego nekad pa vikendima mogu dolaziti i odlaziti iz škole", zaključila je.

Because of George, Prince William is changing one of his strictest rules.

Prince William may relax one of his strict parenting rules regarding mobile phone usage for his children after Prince George is set to attend Eton College. Currently, none of William and Kate's children have mobile phones, but William has previously hinted that this rule might change soon. This decision comes as George leaves his current school, Lambrook, to live at Eton, which is only a short drive from the family home in Windsor. The shift reflects the need for increased communication between the royal family and George, who will spend more time away from home.
