- Founded in 1440, Eton has educated 20 British prime ministers.
- Notable alumni include actors Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston.
The annual tuition fee for Eton College is approximately £63,000 ($84,552). George will transition from Lambrook School, where he currently studies with his siblings.
Prince William, George's father, was the first royal to attend Eton, a choice diverging from his father's path at Gordonstoun in Scotland.
William has expressed fond memories of Eton, sharing that he often visited Windsor Castle to see his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth.
Eton College retains a number of traditional practices, including the distinctive attire of tailcoats and waistcoats, and its unique way of addressing teachers.
