Prince George has begun an exciting new venture.
On Tuesday, September 8, the 13-year-old was spotted arriving for his first day at Eton College, marking a major milestone for him as he followed in his father, Prince William’s footsteps.
William and his younger brother, Prince Harry, both studied at Eton College in 1995 and 1998 respectively.
Joining George for his new venture, Prince William and Princess Kate accompanied him to the college to drop him off.
George’s new college marks a major moment for the Waleses as the young Prince has finally moved forward from Lambrook School, which he attended with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
For his first day at the new college, the eldest of the Waleses children wore his home clothes which included a dark blazer and chinos, light blue shirt, navy tie and brown suede shoes.
William was seen dressed in a similar outfit, while Catherine radiated elegance in a dark green dress.
Upon their arrival, William, Kate and George were greeted by Simon Henderson, the headmaster of the school, and Sir Nicholas Coleridge, the provost of Eton, who serves as the chair of the governing body.
“Welcome. Good luck. Enjoy it,” said Henderson to the future heir.
The family of three was then guided into the fourth-form passage, with the Princess of Wales placing a caring arm around her elder son’s back.
Notably, this milestone also made George the first future monarch to start secondary school in the smartphone era.
