Prince George's Eton Enrollment Reflects Modern Royal Parenting
Thirteen-year-old Prince George started the autumn term at Eton College on September 8 alongside his parents, Prince William and Princess Kate. Siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis did not attend the Windsor-based school's drop-off.
